A stone from the inside
The geology display lists sawn-through glacial erratics, a timeline of the Earth and fossil casts. A cross-section in particular invites you to look at structure. The accompanying text then helps you connect visible patterns with the subject of the gallery.
People in the region
The permanent museum programme also lists Minsken and Hendrik Bulthuis. So it is not limited to natural science subjects: local stories are given space as well. Check what exhibitions are currently on offer if you are coming specifically for one of these parts.
Beneath the dome
The digital planetarium is described as a projection all around the visitor. On public evenings, the telescope can also be used in clear weather. Ask which programme is on offer that evening and how much time you need to set aside for it.
Before you go
Observeum and Museum en Sterrenwacht Burgum refer to the same address. Saturday evening opening applies only in the winter half of the year.
