Important information for visitors in wheelchairs
Due to renovation work, the disabled toilet at Schloss Rosenstein will unfortunately be out of use for approximately three weeks from 27.04.2026.
Unfortunately, we are unable to provide a suitable replacement restroom during this time.
We appreciate your understanding and will let you know as soon as the accessible restroom is available again.
Under the principle "On A Mission For Diversity – Museum For All", the Natural History Museum Stuttgart is strongly committed to promoting inclusion and accessibility.
Our aim is to provide all people, regardless of their individual needs, with equal access to the museum's wide range of offerings. This includes not only the continuous improvement of our physical exhibition spaces, but also the further development of our digital platforms. We ensure that all access points, whether on site or online, are designed to be barrier-free.
Another important aspect is the inclusive design of our educational programmes. These are aimed at a wide range of target groups in order to offer an enriching and accessible educational experience to everyone, regardless of age, background or ability. We work closely with focus groups consisting of people with different needs and impairments to ensure that our programmes meet their requirements.
We also rely on the expertise of accessibility specialists to help us develop solutions that are both practical and effective. Continuous dialogue with our visitors is an essential part of our work: Their feedback is of great importance to us in order to continuously evaluate and constantly optimise our offerings. This is the only way we can ensure that the Naturkundemuseum Stuttgart is and remains a "On A Mission For Diversity – Museum For All".
We would like to give everyone the opportunity to take part in our guided tours at Schloss Rosenstein and the Museum am Löwentor. We only offer group tours by prior arrangement. When booking, we will discuss the special needs of the group with you and gladly adapt the tours according to your wishes.
In both exhibitions, we can offer almost all of our guided tour topics for the following groups, for example with objects to touch or in simplified language:
We ask groups who need an DGS interpreter to bring their own DGS interpreter. For guided tours, you can write to us at kontakt(at)smns-bw.de.
Contact us for more information and for booking guided tours and educational programmes for people with and without impairments.

Presentation of our first Science Hub "Buntsandstein" at Museum am Löwentor
We are delighted to present the first of a total of nine interactive stations called "Science Hub" at the Museum am Löwentor. This new station is dedicated to the Buntsandstein, a time in the Triassic period, and marks the start of a comprehensive exhibition project that will be expanded to include eight additional Science Hubs from mid-2026.
The Science Hubs are interactive, accessible and multisensory stations that give visitors an in-depth and vivid insight into the geological eras on display in the museum. The name Science Hub reflects the focus of the stations: science at the Natural History Museum in Stuttgart!
Current research and the extensive research work carried out at the museum is brought to life through exciting interviews with scientists from the Natural History Museum Stuttgart, which are incorporated as interactive films. In addition, relevant fossil research objects are exhibited and information about the era is conveyed in a variety of ways through tactile, auditory and other multisensory elements.
All information is also available in German Sign Language (DGS), easy-to-read language and audio description. This is because one of the Science Hubs' key objectives is comprehensive inclusion. The stations were therefore developed in direct collaboration with focus groups from the areas of vision, movement, comprehension and hearing. Multi-stage testing and optimisation phases ensured that the implementation was as barrier-free and accessible as possible. True to the motto: "On A Mission For Diversity – Museum For All".
The first Science Hub is now open to visitors and can be tried out at the Museum am Löwentor. The other eight stations will follow from mid-2026.
We hope you enjoy exploring!
