Stuttgart (dpa / lsw) – multimedia and rich in detail – the two largest exhibition rooms in the Rosenstein Castle of the Natural History Museum in Stuttgart will be reopened. This is how classic models were re-staged, explains Lars Krogmann, the director of the museum. The anatomy of the animal is now explained visually on a large whale model from the 1960s. A colorful coral reef and a giant octopus have also been installed. “You have the feeling of being in the sea,” says Krogmann.

The world’s best-preserved preserved original object of a Tasmanian wolf can be found in the redesigned Evolution Hall. Starting Friday, you can open up the family tree of life at a multimedia table. “With the redesign, we want to adapt to the increased demands of the public,” explains the director. The goal is to reach the whole of society in a low-threshold way.

The reopening of the permanent exhibition has been in the works for three years. The project cost around 2.3 million euros. According to Krogmann, the museum also wants to redesign the other rooms in the next few years. Here, the focus should be on the collection of twelve million preparations behind the scenes through digital inspections.
