Museums

Earth Museum of Adam Mickiewicz University

The Earth Museum of the Faculty of Geographical and Geological Sciences of AMU collects minerals, rocks, fossils and Polish meteorites. The meteorite collection includes two large specimens of the Morasko meteorite (261 and 160 kg).

What to see

Two large fragments of the Morasko meteorite: one weighing 261 kg, found in 2012, and one weighing 160 kg.

About one and a half thousand specimens of minerals, rocks and fossils from Poland and the world, including a collection of Lower Silesian agates.

Replicas of skulls of early australopithecines, teeth of extinct fish and reptiles, and a lapidarium, that is, a rock garden.

Good to know

Opening hours change every semester. The current calendar is on the museum's website, where you also book a visit.

Up to 20 people can be in the museum at a time, so larger groups must split up. About 30 minutes is enough for a visit.
