At play in the present: biology

The biology department provides information on the region’s present-day fauna and flora, with playfully presented exhibits of the main types of landscape, or ‘habitat’, that characterise southern Limburg : hillside woodlands, chalk grasslands, meadow ponds, old gravel pits along the River Maas, underground habitats and the city walls of Maastricht.

In a side room you can find separate exhibits showing the underwater ecosystems of southern Limburg.

There are also separate exhibits of bats and insects.

These exhibitions are complemented by the ‘Subterraneum’, the ‘Cabinet’ a world-class collection of precious stones.

The biology department is currently being refurbished, which is why the exhibits on chalk grasslands, city walls, bats and insects are not yet incorporated into this website.
