The 9 Best Specialty Museums in Bonn, North Rhine-Westphalia
Though probably best known as the capital of West Germany from 1949 to 1990 (and of reunified Germany until 1999), Bonn actually has a history dating back to the 1st century BC. Roman soldiers were stationed here and the largest known Roman fort was built at Bonn. In medieval times, the town gained prominence when the Archbishop of Cologne transferred his seat to Bonn. The city's most famous son is Ludwig van Beethoven, born in 1770 at Bonngasse, where a museum now honors him.

The museum can be highly recommended. It mainly shows taxidermied animals, which are presented in a natural looking environment. The museum is not too big, but you can nevertheless spend 2 hours there if you want to see everything. At the moment there is a well arranged special exhibition about dinosaurs. In the basement of the building there are some aquariums with live fish. It is also worth mentioning that you can take a break in a cafeteria. The entrance fee for adults is €5 and for pensioners €2.50. The museum is easily accessible by public transport. If you come by car, it is best to use one of the car parks nearby.

Its a modern building but well laid out with lots of interesting things to see from pre Roman through to recent times. Good wheelchair access if required and discounts for over 65's. I spent 2 hours there but could have quite easily doubled that so I will go again. You need photo ID to have the free audio guide (UK driving licence is acceptable. There is parking if you need it and its cheap if you are visiting the museum and its only a 10 min walk from the centre. It also has a good cafe attached.
