News from the museum
We have come up with something special for our younger guests this Advent.
We're starting right on time for the 1st Advent! If you are between five and thirteen years old, you are cordially invited to play for a reward.
Every Sunday in Advent, a fairy-tale character was out and about in the museum and stole a piece of gold. If you find the figure and its gold and know which fairytale it has escaped from, you have earned a reward!
The museum is open on Sundays from 10:00 to 17:00.
We look forward to your visit and your help!
Our museum app is here!
The Mineralogical Museum can now be experienced digitally - with a tailor-made app.
Curious about the background and exciting stories about special objects? 'Local Treasures' presents local sites and their finds - also in English. Prefer a playful approach? The theft of a valuable piece must be solved!

The development of our app was realized with funds from the LVR-Museumsföderung.
Castle construction site
The construction work on Poppelsdorf Palace is nearing its end. At the moment, the arcades are being completed and a historic pavement in the gateway still needs to be inspected. This will be followed by the restoration of the exterior doors and the laying of new paving in the inner courtyard. It can't be long now!
And from the outside, it already looks chic again!
Even more news ...
It is neither rare nor particularly valuable, but the mineral 2024 - hematite - is of course still something special.
And: it may look a little boring, but its history is quite something. The rock of the year has the - well - perhaps strange-sounding name suevite. Don't be put off by its appearance! You will find the two award winners in their own showcases in our gemstone hall.
With our exhibition catalog, you can take the most beautiful pieces home to your sofa in a practical handbag format - or give them as a gift.
Our wonder bags are available again in the museum store!
