---

Naturkundemuseum Stuttgart at Schloss Rosenstein in Stuttgart, Germany, occupies a neoclassical palace built from 1824 to 1829 as a royal hunting lodge for King Wilhelm I of Württemberg, now housing the biological exhibits of the State Museum of Natural History.

Interactive displays with multimedia showcases guide visitors through Earth's major ecosystems—from polar ice deserts and tropical rainforests to ocean depths—featuring marine mammals like a striking 13-meter sei whale skeleton with detailed internal replicas of its heart and calf.

Complementing its southwestern German wildlife, plant groups, and evolution sections, the museum draws around 115,000 visitors yearly amid the scenic Rosenstein Park, pairing with the nearby Löwentor site for prehistoric life.
