A Giant Step Back into History
The Museum am Lowentor is part of the State Museum of Natural History buildings and a must see for anyone who visits Stuttgart. This is especially good for families with children who like dinosaurs. The Museum is located on the north-west edge of Rosenstein Park and opened in 1985. Most of the fossils in the extensive collection come from South-west Germany.
The fossils date back 245 million years and include the world's oldest tortoises and a skull of Homo steinheinmensis exhibit that is 250,000 years old.
My wife enjoyed the amber collection which is located to the right of the entrance. This amber has captured some amazing insects including a dragonfly and ant.
The cost of admission is Adults 3 euros, children 1.50 euros and families 6 euros.
Hope you enjoy the museum as much as we did during our short trip to Stuttgart.

Natural History on Display
This natural history museum is housed in a beautiful neo-classical style building constructed in the late 1820's.
It is located near the Wilheim Zoological exhibit, on the opposite end of the Rosenstein Park from the Museum am Lowentor. This is a nice walk through the park which will take you about 15 minutes depending on how much time you take to stop and view the animals.
The biological exhibits features many rare and spectacular specimens. A special hall is dedicated to the evolution of species. Glass cases depict how plants, animals and man co-existed during various periods and climates.
There are also six halls that take you on a journey through the earth's main geographical zones from hot, humid, tropical rain forests to the arid, barren deserts.
We were particularly interested in the insect exhibit and the butterfly showcase.
The price for admission is adults 3 euros, children 1.50 euros and families 6 euro. Note a combo pass for both museums in the park is just 5 euros for adults.
This is a nice museum for families and those who appreciate the beauty of all creatures.
