    The museum was established in 1912 by the Natural History society of Limburg. Southern Limburg has a rich geological past, and in the Natural History Museum you see the remains of Mosasaurs, giant turtles and fossils. With the help of computers and visual projections, someone can explore the modern-day landscape of South Limburg, and in the botanical garden you meet a huge variety of flowering and lash plants. The Cabinet is a lovely room, which shows the museum 90 years ago.

    by Luchonda
    The "Bisschops mill" is active once every week to keep it operational and in proper function like it was many years ago (constructed in the 12th century.)
    A fascinating piece of hard labour - the mill is driven by the river "Jeker" and located at "Stenenbrug" near the monastry

    A modern building by architect Aldo Rossi houses contemporary and pre-19th century art.

    Unfortunately, my visit was guided (I was with a group) and it was quite boring. I'd rather have walked around and looked for myself. Next time better luck!

    In the Jekerkwartier you will find one of the biggest Natuur Historische Museums of the Netherlands. It is very interesting if you want to learn more about the history of nature in the area of Maastricht and southern part of Limburg. On of the top pieces in the collection is the Mosasaur Hoffmanni. In the courtyard of the museum there is also a very big fossil of the head of another Mosasaur called Bér. This fossil is so famous they even made a beer of it, which you can buy in the supermarkets!

  • Maastricht has a few interesting musea, vut this one is a favourite one, for it has a collection likely, that you cant find elsewhere in the Netherlands. Because of the fact that in this regio bones of pre-historic animals were found, they are all exposed and reconstructed in this Maastricht meseum. You may find rests of giant Mosa-sauriers and giant turtles, that have lived in the Maastrich area for many miljon years ago. You will find a complete overview of all the fossils representing natural life in that regio of Maastricht. The museum itself is a beatyfull place, it has a pleasant garden, a museum café and an old typical room, the "Kabinet" which gives you an impression of Maastricht during the fin de siecle.
