Humboldt Museum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The Museum für Naturkunde (in English, the Museum of Natural History), widely known as the Humboldt Museum of Berlin, is the first national museum in the world, with a massive collection of more than 25 million zoological, paleontological, and minerological specimens, including more than ten thousand type specimens. |
 | | Divided into Institutes of Paleontology, Mineralogy, and Zoology, it is the largest museum of natural history in Germany, and part of the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, which was established in 1810; though the museum's mineral collections date back to the Prussian Academy in 1700. |
 | | Minerals in the museum were originally part of the collection of instructors from the Berlin Mining Academy. |
