In my vecations I had the chance to visit the ‘Senkenberg Museum’ in Frankfurt. It is a Museum of Natural History and concerning fossils and paleontology one of the first addresses in Germany. I am very interested in paleontology so it was very exciting for me to see all those ‘dead’ animals.
In fact it is an awesome feeling to stand beyond such an huge skeleton like the Tyrannosaurus. And when I imagined what this dinosaur had looked like with flesh on the bones – that made me very perplexed.
The whole museum is worth a visit. There are a lot of interesting fossils like dinosaurs, fish, and ‘modern day’ bones like whales. They have even some hair and real blood of a mammoth. What I found really interesting are some very old fossils dated in the Cambrium, a epoch I am especially interested in.
In the 2nd and 3rd floor there were mainly primed wild animals what was quite boring. After a short visit in these floors I returned to the 1st floor and studied some samples in detail. Have you ever seen real dinosaur skin in real? They have a mummified Edmontosaurs, very interesting!
