Geology department
Geoscientific specimens from the region are prepared for the collection, recorded in databases and stored in the museum’s own climate-controlled storeroom.
The purpose of this collection is to provide an overview of the history of the geological development of western Upper Lusatia with a view to documenting and researching large-scale transformations.
Geology collection
Since the 1980s, the main focus of the geoscientific collection has been on the petrography of Proterozoic rocks, and since 2003 on the paleobotanical specimens of the Miocene, and since 2005 on the Oligocene volcanic rocks found in Upper Lusatia.
