	Senckenberg Museum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Senckenberg Museum in Frankfurt is the largest museum of natural history in Germany.
		The building that houses the Senckenberg Museum was erected between 1904 and 1907 outside of the center of Frankfurt in the same area as the Johann Wolfgang Goethe University, which was founded in 1914.
		For example, the museum houses a large number of originals from the Messel pit: field mice, reptiles, fish, and a predecessor to the modern horse that lived about 50 million years ago and stood less than 60 cm tall.
