Daycare Centers and Schools

With its special exhibitions in the Japanese Palais in Dresden and the Research Institute in Dresden-Klotzsche, the Senckenberg Natural History Collections Dresden are an exciting extracurricular place of learning. Our guided tours and workshops are based on the current curriculum, thus providing a varied addition to lessons in the classroom.

With more than 60 original specimens, models, and casts from the Senckenberg collections, the special exhibition shows a section of the diversity of animal immigrants in Germany. During the guided tour, the topic of non- native species (neobiota) and their impact on native habitats is explored in depth.
