Fossil exhibits and dinosaurs’ skeletons collected in the museum are an attraction for every visitor.

The oldest fossils presented in the museum are 570 million years old stromatolites originating from The Kaczawskie Mountains and trilobites dated for Lower Cambrian period (530 million years ago).
