Biological Museum Lucerne - a wonderful place to study the natural history literally touch. The history of the museum dates back to the XVIII century Kunstkammer and even then it was a curious collection. Now, in the display are the remains of ancient animals and mannequins of our ancestors, and even the "Dragon Stone", which tells about the origin of the tradition: he is nothing more than a frozen fiery dragon saliva, dwelling on Mount Pilatus.

Forget everything you know about the dusty and boring paleontological museums. Here in Lucerne ancient history - it is a real trip to Jurassic Park, where visitors will dinosaurs and other giant reptiles. Another permanent exhibition - "Biology" - tells the story of Swiss flora and fauna and you can see a lot of the living representatives of the latter - in terrariums and aquariums. And for fans of something of the air - the exhibition "The wonderful world of insects."

If you are traveling with children, the Biological Museum must be given at least a couple of hours - this barely enough to get around all the rooms, to touch all the exhibits and see at least a few documents about the origin of life on earth, taken as exciting TV movie.

Museum Square is Kazernenplats. It is easily reached from the train station along the quays Royce (southern coast), the walk takes about 10 minutes Benchmark - Shproyerbryukke Bridge (second indoor wooden bridge on the lake). Biological Museum is adjacent to the white building of the Historical Museum, which is easily recognizable by the mural on the facade.
