The ethanol collections for research have been stored under the Museum’s roof for decades – away from visitors‘ eyes. Conditions were inadequate from a preservation point of view. The collection has now found a home in one of the most modern collection depots in the world in the East Wing of the Museum. The East Wing had been destroyed right down to its foundations in the Second World War, and it was only 65 years later that one of the last war ruins in Berlin was reopened in September 2010, after three years of construction. The transfer of the ethanol specimens had been completed, and the glass-walled wet collection became part of the visitors‘ circuit at the Museum für Naturkunde.
The reconstruction of the outer facade of the East Wing, developed by Swiss architects Diener & Diener, won the DAM Prize for Architecture in Germany in 2011
The Museum für Naturkunde – Leibniz Institute for Evolution and Biodiversity Science is an integrated research museum within the Leibniz Association. It is one of the most important research institutions worldwide in the areas of biological and geological evolution and biodiversity.
