News from the museum

Special Exhibition

Extended til November 2!

A special find near Schöningen provides evidence: Saber-toothed cats and humans met here in Lower Saxony around 300,000 years ago. What does science know today about the Ice Age predators?
Due to the great demand, we are extending the duration of the special exhibition “Sabre-toothed cats” by another three months until November 2.

Finds from the past

From children's toys to tray tins and shoe soles - many exciting objects were recovered during the removal of mud from the bottom of the horse trough in Eversten Holz as part of the “Klimaoasen Oldenburg” project. A selection of the sometimes bizarre finds can now be discovered free of charge in our Open Space.
