    Stumbled into the museum by chance and had a very entertaining time. Admission is free and you can make a donation. The lady there gave us a short great explanation. “Everything I wanted to know about fossils” The commitment is remarkable 👍🏻

    (Translated by Google) A volunteer guided museum with love, heart and commitment. Thanks also for the scientifically founded texts and exhibits. A MUST for any prehistoric interested. Absolutely recommended before a visit to the pit Messel. Here is a donation wiklich appropriate. Good luck and public support would be desirable. (Original) Ein ehrenamtlich geführtes Museum mit viel Liebe, Herz und Engagement. Danke auch für die wissenschaftlich fundierten Texte und Exponate. Ein MUSS für jeden vorgeschichtlichen Interessierten. Unbedingt vor einem Besuch der Grube Messel zu empfehlen. Hier ist eine Spende wiklich angebracht. Viel Erfolg und eine öffentliche Unterstützung wäre wünschenswert.

    Downstairs is the local museum, upstairs are the fossils from the nearby Grube Messel. A good collection (better than what the museum at the pit has). Most are casts, the originals are elsewhere, but several are the real thing. Nice little museum.

    The Messel local history museum is clearly preferable to the exhibition in the visitor center. Why? The local museum does what the visitor center does not do, although one should expect this from a world heritage site...The local museum shows more exhibits, deals with the history of the Messel mine and all for a small donation.
