Naturalis Biodiversity Center is a national museum of natural history and a research center on biodiversity in Leiden, Netherlands. Although its current name and organization is relatively recent, its history can be traced back to the early 1800s. Its collections contain approximately 37 million specimens, one of the largest natural history collections in the world.[5] In late 2016 the center closed its main building for renovations, with plans to re-open in late 2018. Temporary exhibitions are open in the pesthuis entrance building during the renovations.
Naturalis Biodiversity Center is an internationally operating research center with over 120 scientists and 200 research associates describing, understanding and explaining biodiversity and geodiversity. The foundation of this research is our national collection of 37 million plants, animals, fossils and stones gathered during the last two centuries. Naturalis is best known to a large audience as a natural history museum for families, receiving more than 300.000 visitors each year.
