The originally independent Museum of Natural History in Wiesbaden was founded in 1829 by citizens of the region with the support of the Duke together with the Nassauischer Verein für Naturkunde (Nassau Association for Natural History).
The beginning of the 19th century was marked by industrialization and enormous discoveries in the natural sciences.
This is how the desire for a permanent institution was born.
On the one hand, this offered the opportunity to establish an important place of education for the public and, on the other hand, to promote internal research.
These goals are still pursued by today's natural history collections.
One can find more information on this at the site of the Museum Wiesbaden.
