The Naturmuseum Senckenberg (SMF) [7] is a museum of natural history, located in Frankfurt am Main. It is the second-largest of its kind in Germany. In 2010, almost 517,000 people visited the museum, which is owned by the Senckenberg Nature Research Society. [8] Senckenberg's slogan is "world of biodiversity". [9] As of 2019, the museum exhibits 18 reconstructed dinosaurs. [10]

History

In 1763, Johann Christian Senckenberg donated 95,000 guilders–his entire fortune–to establish a community hospital and promote scientific projects. [11] [12] Senckenberg died in 1772. In 1817, 32 Frankfurt citizens founded the non-profit Senckenberg Nature Research Society, German: Senckenberg Gesellschaft für Naturforschung (SGN), which is a member of the Leibniz Association. [13] [14] [15] Soon after, Johann Georg Neuburg  [ de ] donated his collection of bird and mammal specimens to the society. [14] The Naturmuseum Senckenberg was founded in 1821, just four years later. [a] [17] Initially located near the Eschenheimer Turm, [18] the museum moved to a new building on Senckenberganlage in 1907. [19] In 1896 a mummified Egyptian child in their collection (inventory number ÄS 18) was the subject of the first mummy X-ray. [20] During World War II, the building was partly destroyed. [b] However, the exhibits had been evacuated before. [14]

Building

The neo-baroque building [21] housing the Senckenberg Museum was erected between 1904 and 1907 by Ludwig Neher  [ de ] outside of the center of Frankfurt in the same area as the Johann Wolfgang Goethe University, which was founded in 1914. [22] The museum is owned and operated by the Senckenberg Nature Research Society. [23] The exhibition area covers 6,000 m2 (65,000 sq ft). [24]

Expansion plans

As of 2018, the museum has been expanded to 10,000 m2 (110,000 sq ft). [c] [27] New planned sections: Human, Earth, Cosmos, Future. [28] [29]

Collections

The Senckenberg Museum Frankfurt has a large collection of animal, plant [31] and geology [32] exhibits from every epoch of Earth's history.

Dinosaurs

Diplodocus

Main attraction is a Diplodocus from Bone Cabin Quarry, Wyoming, [33] [34] donated by the American Museum of Natural History on the occasion of the present museum building's inauguration on 13 October 1907, [16] [35] [36] The 18 m (59 ft) mounted skeleton with additions contains bones of three different sauropod genera (Diplodocus and closely related Apatosaurus and Barosaurus ). [33] [37]

Psittacosaurus

As of 2022, a key holding is a fossilized Psittacosaurus (specimen SMF R 4970) from Liaoning, China, with clear bristles around its tail and visible fossilized stomach contents. [38] [39] [40] The specimen was first reported in 2002. [39] [41] The exact date and locality of the discovery within Liaoning is unknown. [38] A controversial debate about the legal ownership arose. [38] [42] In 2021, researchers described its cloaca in more detail and found similarities with the body outlet of birds. [43] [44] [45] In 2022, for the first time a belly button was found in a dinosaur fossil. [39] [46] A physical life reconstruction of the animal was prepared by paleoartist Robert Nicholls. [47] [48]

Edmontosaurus and Triceratops

Another originals are an Edmontosaurus annectens mummy (specimen SMF R 4036) from Lance Formation, Wyoming. [49] [50] [51] and two Triceratops skulls. [52] [10] The museum bought the three specimen from fossil collector Charles Hazelius Sternberg and his sons in the early 20th century. [53] [54] The museum also exhibits a cast of a complete Triceratops, [10] the museum's mascot. [55]

Casts

Big public attractions also include the casts of Tyrannosaurus rex [d] and Diplodocus longus (in front of the museum), an Iguanodon , the crested Hadrosaur Parasaurolophus and an Oviraptor . [34]

Further casts or single bones: [34]

  1. Archaeopteryx lithographica
  2. Brachiosaurus brancai
  3. Compsognathus longipes
  4. Euoplocephalus tutus
  5. Plateosaurus engelhardti
  6. Protoceratops
  7. Sinosauropteryx prima
  8. Stegosaurus stenops
  9. Amargasaurus cazaui
  10. Argentinosaurus huinculensis
  11. Austroraptor cabazai
  12. Carnotaurus sastrei
  13. Eoraptor lunensis
  14. Giganotosaurus carolinii
  15. Kritosaurus australis
  16. Panphagia protos
  17. Velociraptor [56]
  18. Deinonychus [56]

Birds

A living reconstruction of the extinct dodo and many other stuffed birds are shown in a permanent exhibition in the upper level. [57] Additionally, the museum owns a large and diverse collection of birds with 90,000 bird skins, 5,050 egg sets, 17,000 skeletons, and 3,375 spirit specimens (a specimen preserved in fluid). [58] [59] This is 75% of the known bird species, only a minor part is exhibited. [59]

Reptiles

Anaconda is one of the oldest and most popular exhibits. [60] Since the remodeling finished in 2003, a new reptile exhibit addresses both the biodiversity of reptiles and amphibians and the topic of nature conservation. [61]

Messel research

The museum houses many originals from the nearby Messel pit, [62] Germany's first UNESCO World Natural Heritage Site, [63] among them a predecessor to the modern horse that lived about 50 million years ago and stood less than 60 cm (24 in) tall. [64] [65] [66] In 2015, researchers found an foal fetus in the body of the petrified primeval horse mare. [67] [68] [69] Also primates, crocodiles, bats, snakes, turtles and other fossils were found at Messel pit. [70]

Mammals

Display collections full of stuffed animals are arranged in the upper levels; among other things one can see one of twenty existing examples of the quagga, which has been extinct since 1883. [71] [72]

The mammal collection focuses on bats, primates, rodents, and insectivores (not exhibited). [73]

Human evolution

Unique in Europe is a cast of the famous Lucy, [e] an almost complete skeleton of the upright, 1 m (3 ft 3 in) tall, hominid Australopithecus afarensis . [75] The exhibition also includes reconstructions of the heads of human ancestors. [75]

<i>Leptictidium</i> Extinct genus of mammals

Leptictidium is an extinct genus of small mammals that were likely bipedal. Comprising eight species, they resembled today's bilbies, bandicoots, and elephant shrews, and occupied a similar niche. They are especially interesting for their combination of characteristics typical of primitive eutherians with highly specialized adaptations, such as powerful hind legs and a long tail which aided in locomotion. They were omnivorous, their diet a combination of insects, lizards, frogs, and small mammals. Leptictidium and other leptictids are not placentals, but are non-placental eutherians, although they are closely related to placental eutherians. They appeared in the Lower Eocene, a time of warm temperatures and high humidity, roughly fifty million years ago. Although they were widespread throughout Europe, they became extinct around thirty-five million years ago with no descendants, as they were adapted to live in forest ecosystems and were unable to adapt to the open plains of the Oligocene.

<i>Edmontosaurus</i> mummy SMF R 4036 Dinosaur fossil in Naturmuseum Senckenberg

The Edmontosaurus mummy SMF R 4036 is an exceptionally well-preserved dinosaur fossil in the collection of the Naturmuseum Senckenberg (SM) in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. Found in 1910 in Wyoming, United States, it is ascribed to the species Edmontosaurus annectens, a member of the Hadrosauridae. The fossil comprises a nearly complete skeleton that was found wrapped in impressions of its skin, a rare case of exceptional preservation for which the term "dinosaur mummy" has been used. Notably, the horny beak is preserved with this specimen. Plant remains found within the thorax cavity had been interpreted as stomach contents, although later research questioned this identification. The mummy's hands are wrapped in skin impression, which was interpreted as evidence for interdigital webbing and an aquatic lifestyle in hadrosaurids; this hypothesis, although universally accepted once, is now widely refused. SMF R 4036 is one of the four best preserved hadrosaurid mummies, and was the second to be discovered. The find was made by fossil hunter Charles Hazelius Sternberg and his sons, who sold their numerous finds to various museums in North America and Europe. Only two years earlier the Sternbergs had discovered the Edmontosaurus mummy AMNH 5060 in the same region, which is now on display at the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH) in New York City.
