Museum of Evolution

We visited the museum during Christmas holidays. It was a long awaited visit and we were not disappointed at all ☺️ The kids were amazed by the different dinosaurs' skeletons. The museum exhibits a wide collection of fossils too. Unfortunately all labels and captions are only in Polish language.

I visited the Museum of Evolution on a Sunday morning shortly after opening, and spent around an hour photographing the many specimens on display. This museum is cash-only; although I could see a card reader, the admissions person would not let me enter by card, and had to pay with cash. Once I entered, I found myself in the lower floor of the Palace of Culture, several adjoining rooms with large dinosaur skeletons as the centrepiece. A room off to the side was devoted to fossils of aquatic life, mostly invertebrates such as ammonites, and fish. I was not able to find anything clearly labelled as tetrapod, such as an ichthyosaur or crocodile fossil. However, all of the rest of the displays focused on this group, including mammals, but notably dinosaurs, of which many specimens from Mongolia and North America were on display. These included many individuals of Protoceratops, a frilled dinosaur, Oviraptor eggs, skulls of the thick-headed dinosaurs Homalocephale and Prenocephale, and skulls of “duck-billed” hadrosaur Saurolophus. Many of these were casts or models, but there were several original specimens on display, some of which were indicated (in Polish). Of particular interest to the palaeontologist or dinosaur fan are original bones and casts of the long-necked dinosaur Opisthocoelicauda and likely-related genus Nemegtosaurus, including the whole skeleton featuring casts of bones from both genera, several individuals of Tyrannosaurus-relative Tarbosaurus, and original specimens of rare and unusual dinosaurs like Elmisaurus, Borogovia, and Bagaraatan (the original dentary, labelled as Tarbosaurus bataar). Other animals from Poland on display include possible dinosaur Smok wawelski, distant relative of early mammals Lisowicia, early relative of dinosaurs Silesaurus, and gliding animal Ozimek volans. It was great to see a display of multituberculates, a group of mammals alive during the reign of the dinosaurs, together with a poem dedicated to Polish palaeontologist Zofia Kielan-Jaworowska. On the whole, something for all dinosaur fans or fossil enthusiasts, and you will learn something new, even if you already consider yourself clued up on Polish or Mongolian palaeontology.

I visited here on Sunday with my friends, and I really enjoyed it because I love museums, especially those related to the era before humans. There are many models from the dinosaur era with detailed information, which makes them interesting. You can spend an hour to looking at them. At the entrance and in the central area of the tower, there should be instructions in English to help people find the place easily.

The museum is located st Pkin. Went together with mt family and my son really enjoyed the prehistoric models (lifesize). Good experience and information for someone who likes dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals and marine life. Is small and it will take approx less thsn hour to cover unless one is really interested to read in detail about the accompanying exhibits.

Great museum experience if you are into technology history. Kids might also like depending in their taste for science and maths.

I had the pleasure of visiting museum in December and I must say I was lured in by famously bad taxidermy on exhibit. Sadly, there was no more bad taxidermy pieces due to all of them being in renovation :(((( Here's some goofy dinos though

Very interesting museum, although it's small. What threw me off was the complete absence of any english labels at the exhibits. If you're already knowledgeable in sauropod evolution or fluent in Polish, this is a cool museum, but if not, then don't visit.

Very nice boutique show room museum with great artifacts the price for 2 adults +2 children’s 50zl
