Natural History Museum - Branch of the Museum of Warmia i Mazur
About This Museum
Tucked away on Metalowa Street in Olsztyn, this place is a real gem for anyone fascinated by the natural world. It feels more like exploring a cabinet of curiosities than a formal museum, with each room revealing something new about the region's wildlife. I was completely captivated by the incredibly detailed dioramas that make you feel like you've stepped right into the Masurian forests. It’s a wonderfully intimate spot that truly celebrates the rich biodiversity of Warmia and Mazury.
Collection Highlights
The life-like dioramas of local fauna, including majestic elk and soaring eagles, are absolutely stunning. Don't miss their impressive collection of bird eggs and nests, which offers a surprisingly intimate look into avian life.
