MESSEL 30+ SILVER, DINOSAURS
AND OTHER STONES

How has Southern Hesse changed over millions of years? Where forests, cities, and fields now stretch out, mighty mountain ranges and active volcanoes once defined the landscape. A new special exhibition offers fascinating insights into this hidden past and invites visitors to discover the region from a completely new perspective.

Embark on an exciting journey through Earth’s history: across approximately 100 square meters, the story of over 500 million years of evolution comes to life. Rocks, minerals, fossils, and archaeological finds—all sourced from within a 30-kilometer radius of the Messel Pit—tell tales of times long past. The exhibition is complemented by interactive media stations that invite visitors to experiment, discover, and marvel.
