Permanent exhibitions
A paleontological exhibition The Miracle of Nature: The History of Life on Earth reveals vanished worlds. You will meet the dinosaur from the Tatras and even a meter long water scorpion, which lived 425 million years ago! And have you ever seen a life-sizes woolly mammoth?
Another stunning exhibition is The Miracle of Nature: Biological Diversity of Slovakia, which presents Slovakia through fancy installations of lowlands and hills up to the highest mountain ranges.
If a diversity of Slovakia is not enough, the exhibition The Miracle of Nature: Biological Diversity of Earth shows examples of living and non-living nature of the polar regions, tundra, tropical forests, greenlands, deserts, coral reefs and coasts.
