The ticket is a bit expensive for what they have inside. It is 20 lei, one of the most expensive museums in Bucharest, and the animals inside are old and dusty, the variety is not that great, some of them ( the fish) are plastic. They have a couple of mammoth skeletons, which is neat, but on the overall, it... More

This beautiful museum has a spectacular collection of native fauna, displayed by each of Romania's ecoregions. After a spectacular cave exhibit (with little interpretation unfortunately) you move into more generalized specimens from all over the world. Sadly, the rest of the exhibits we never got to see. The floor is one way, and the addition of the traveling (human bodies,... More

I have visited this museum three times. The first visit happened many years ago (when I was a child) the second one after the renovation (about a year ago) and the third one very recently, due to an exhibition that they have at the moment, called "The Human Body". After the renovation, it looked like a whole new museum. Quite... More

Did not go around the museum as such although some exhibits appeared good in passing- attended the Human Body Exhibition which was excellent. Well presented, interesting information in both Romanian and English for a wide range of real human exhibits. There are some aspects to consider before going particularly the human embryo and foetus section as although each is presented... More

This is a pretty well done natural history museum. In front of each diorama, there is a touch screen that can tell you in English or Romanian, more about each animal presented. Animals are from many places of Romania and then there are a group of them from different places on the planet. There is a mastodon and some other... More
