Museum Koenig
One of Germany's largest natural history museums, where the African animal specimens in the "Savanna" hall are impressive, and also a site of historical significance for the founding of West Germany.
The museum focuses on zoology, with displays of rainforest, savanna, desert and polar habitats. Specimens of elephants, giraffes and other animals look lifelike, making it a good choice for families. In 1948, the council that drafted West Germany's Basic Law held the opening session of its committee in one of the museum's halls, and the museum has commemorative exhibits on this. Admission is about €5, with discounts for children. It is located on Adenauerallee and can be combined with the House of History on the same day.
