The Museum also organises educational-artistic workshops and dinosaur-themed birthday parties for children. The Museum shop offers a selection of dinosaur plush toys, as well as books and other publications focussing on paleontology and natural sciences.
Our aim is to go beyond the Museum’s primary role of showcasing its natural history exhibits and collections and make it an important space for both scientific and more general discussions on the history of nature.
In 2011, the Museum hosted a symposium on the origins of life on Earth, during which Polands’ leading scientists gave lectures covering this subject from the perspectives of paleontology, molecular biology, biochemistry and physics. In the autumn of 2012, the Museum hosted a series of public debates, during which PhD students from the University of Warsaw and the Institute of Paleobiology, Polish Academy of Sciences, discussed evolution in the modern world and the nature of mass extinctions. The Museum is also a place in which nature lovers of all ages can buy some of the best available books on biology and nature.
