Zoologisches Museum in Hamburg forms part of the University of Hamburg and presents zoological exhibits. On the central campus, you encounter displays that explore the diversity of animal life. Research and teaching connect these galleries with the university’s natural sciences.

The University of Hamburg emerged in the early twentieth century and brought several educational institutions together in 1919. Three university museums share this academic setting. Alongside the Mineralogical Museum and the Museum of Geology and Paleontology, the zoological collections support students, researchers, and public learning.

The exhibits reveal the complexity of the animal kingdom through objects arranged for close study. Wheelchair access makes the museum available to visitors with different mobility needs. Its campus location places scientific collections within Hamburg’s wider educational landscape.
