Abbey Museum

Ready to travel back in time? The tour through the Dinosaur Park spans a period of 620 million years and begins in the Devonian era, when the first living creatures conquered the mainland. The focus is, of course, on the stars of prehistory, the dinosaurs from the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods: dangerous predators like Allosaurus and T-Rex or peaceful herbivores like Stegosaurus and Iguanodon, minor celebrities like Archaeopteryx or giants like Seismosaurus. More than 170 lifelike, life-size replicas of animals bring Earth's history to life. In the PaleoLab, the fossil preparation workshop, visitors can watch original dinosaur bones, mammoth teeth or shells and snails from the Jurassic Sea being worked on. Next door in the research camp there are hands-on activities for young and old paleontology fans. The free audio guide in four languages can be easily downloaded to your smartphone.
