Tierpark + Fossilium Bochum is a combination of zoological garden and natural history museum located in the city of Bochum. Founded in 1939, the collection brings together living animals with fossils, minerals and other natural history exhibits, providing a connection between modern biodiversity and the history of life on Earth.
The zoo features a varied collection of mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish and invertebrates, with both outdoor enclosures and specialised indoor habitats. The Fossilium complements the living collection with geological and palaeontological specimens, including fossils and reconstructions. Together, the two parts combine animal care and conservation with scientific research, education and public recreation.
