Luxembourg National Museum of Natural History

One of the most interesting museums that i've seen. 🤩 Everything is clearly explained. I've went with a friend with two children and they were very impressed.

The languages used on the boards are french and german. I think it would be a plus to have them in english too.😊🙏

There are also places with interactive actions. You push a button and you can see on a screen stages of an event (like plant development). Or You can pose in a semi-box and a on a screen in front of you there's a skeleton imitating your moves.👏

I loved the minerals, the explanations for each exponat (animal, bird, fosilized plants or marine animals) and the pieces of meteorites.

Any age of kids would love this place. Even we enjoyed it. Lot to explore and learn. I personally liked the animals section. It was not planned to visit this place but since it was raining we decided to take our kids here. I think it was a good decision.

Small but compact, one of the activities you should do when you visit luxembourg, it will not take long but you will feel good in the end.

An amazing museum if you are interested in nature and rocks and minerals. Even though the museum is clearly designed with children in mind, it is still interesting for adults. Clear information on the formation of the earth. Definitely worth its price. Only downside was that all information was in German and French but with modern tools that is no longer an issue.

The museum is ideal for families with children. It's very educational, but unfortunately, all informations about displayed items aren't on English.

Interesting exhibition for orchids fans until the end of August. Check it out! (There is an explanation on English for every orchid species)

Great collection and looooooads to look at. Well worth the €5 entrance fee. Would recommend for kids too as lots of learning opportunities!

We took a visit here on a family holiday last week, the exhibits are great. Especially found the ants interesting. Little vests for kids with bits and bobs to do is also a fab touch and the price of entry was next to nothing!
HOWEVER, upon entering the area with all the taxidermy animals, a female member of staff decided is necessary to follow my every move. Where ever I went upstairs she was keeping us in eyesight and walking around so she could obviously see me.
It made me feel so uncomfortable that we left. Such a shame. Honestly I have never been made to feel like a criminal for taking my husband and kids on a educational day out.
I hope this woman is aware how awkward she is making visitors feel. Because she ruined our day.
Museum itself was great but no English translations, this is fine though as we can translate and it’s good for children to try learning new languages. Would have given 5 stars if the woman wasn’t stalking our every move.

Nice and well kept museum. Went with a 3 year old and they liked it though I think it’s more interesting for older kids (7+).

Some things to consider;
- no touching the exhibits (hard to control with small kids)
- closest parking area quite small this usually full and therefore have to park up and walk down into the valley where the building is - plan accordingly with prams etc
- it’s in the historical area (Grund) so can combine it with a nice walk through there
- nice restaurants and bars around the area
