Staff and museum educators impart extensive knowledge about nature and the environment, especially to children and young people.

The exhibitions at the Natural History Museum are also designed with children in mind. The natural history museum was awarded the "KIDS and Co - Seal - Recommended 2021" for its family-friendly concept.
