The Museum of Human and Nature is a modern natural history museum, which is housed in the Nymphenburg Palace in Munich
. It is part of the State Natural History Collections in Bavaria.
Already before the Second World War there was a natural history museum in Munich, which was located in the old academy - a former building of the Jesuit Order in the Neuhauser Strasse -. This building was destroyed in the war, so a new museum had toi be constructed. A simple, cheap and good solution was to built a museum in a house, which already exists. So the Museum of Man and Nature was instituted in the Nymphenburg Palace.1990 it was finally opened.
The museum offers a comprehensive overview of the evolution of life on Earth and the emergence of the entire solar system. Furthermore a detailed discussion of the anatomy and human development. Even current nutritional and environmental problems are addressed here.
