The museum's mineral collections date back to the <a href="/wiki/Prussian_Academy_of_Sciences" title="Prussian Academy of Sciences">Prussian Academy of Sciences</a> of 1700. Important historic zoological specimens include those recovered by the German <a href="/wiki/Deep-sea" class="mw-redirect" title="Deep-sea">deep-sea</a> Valdiva expedition (1898–99), the German Southpolar Expedition (1901–03), and the German Sunda Expedition (1929–31).

German speakers mainly call this museum <i>Museum für Naturkunde</i> since this is the term on the façade. It is also called <i>Naturkundemuseum</i> or even <i>Museum für Naturkunde in Berlin</i> so that it can be distinguished from other museums in Germany also named as <i>Museum für Naturkunde</i>. The museum was founded in 1810 as a part of the <a href="/wiki/Humboldt_University_of_Berlin" title="Humboldt University of Berlin">Berlin University</a>, which changed its name to <i>Humboldt University of Berlin</i> in 1949.

The three parts of the building along Invalidenstrasse as the front side are generously grouped around a courtyard-like forecourt. The connecting elements were front gardens, which were laid out between 1883 and 1889 according to plans by the garden architect Richard Köhler, and a fountain in front of the central building. In addition, an area of around 500 m² was left free from the former foundry site, which was intended to widen Invalidenstrasse.<sup id="cite_ref-:0_8-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:0-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> And according to the construction plans, once the complex was completed, all three parts were to be connected to each other by side halls.<sup id="cite_ref-:0_8-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:0-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>All elements of the building ensemble were heated by a central boiler house, which stood in the third northern courtyard of the natural history building. Individual solutions had to be created for the furnishings (cupboards, drawers, consoles, cross beams, glass panels) and equipment as well as the entire color scheme. </p><p><b>Museum of Natural History</b> </p><p>The building area with a size of 20,071 m² is located on the ploten Invalidstrasse 43. As early as 1915/1916, the three northern wings of the main building received an extension to accommodate the zoological collection. </p><p>It is an almost square main building with a front length of 85 m, to which an approximately 140 m long four-wing cross wing was added at the back, designed as a simple brick building. The wing buildings facing north are around 37 m long and there are three 23 m wide courtyards in between. The facades of the main building are clad with tuff stone and <a href="/w/index.php?title=Rackwitz_sandstone&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Rackwitz sandstone (page does not exist)">Rackwitz sandstone</a>.

A wide staircase leads into the interior with a foyer, followed by an atrium reserved for the large exhibits of the animal collection. </p><p>The collection and work rooms inside are wide-span halls on iron supports; the vaults between the iron girders are made of porous stones. On the two gable ends of the main building there are large staircases in iron constructions and work rooms for supervisory officers of the individual departments of the museum. The rear wing structures are finished with cast plaster caps between the iron beams and a supporting corrugated iron covering. </p><p>For the floors, Tiede used <a href="/wiki/Terrazzo" title="Terrazzo">terrazzo</a> and oak rods in asphalt. Within the museum building there were two lecture halls and apartments for the curator. The ground floor and first floor of the western wing formed a complete service building for the museum director and his family.<sup id="cite_ref-:0_8-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:0-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In the basement of the eastern wing, a drying chamber and degreasing and maceration systems were installed, which were supplied by the Berlin company E.

The state geological institute needed additional space after just under 15 years. A north wing was built between 1890 and 1892 based on plans by Fritz Laske and a further extension was built in 1913. </p><p>The mining academy used the ground floor rooms around a large <a href="/wiki/Atrium_(architecture)" title="Atrium (architecture)">atrium</a>, the state geological institute was located on the floors above. <a href="/w/index.php?title=Circumferential_column_arcades&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Circumferential column arcades (page does not exist)">Circumferential column arcades</a> structured the atrium. Worth mentioning here were a bench with the motif of the Prussian eagle, two lying stone lions on the stair stringers, a cast-iron group of lions at the courtyard entrance, and a sitting dog cast from bronze on the outside of the side portal. This is a replica of the <a href="/wiki/Molossian_hound" title="Molossian hound">Molossian dogs</a> from the second half of the 3rd century BC. BC, who were posted as a couple in front of the former veterinary college; however, the second figure was lost.

This building was also completed in 1889, and expansion work had to be carried out after a very short time (1876–1880). This also resulted in a multi-wing facility that was planned and realized by Kern & Krencker and E. Gerhardt. </p><p>A glass-covered atrium forms the center, in which there is a statue of <a href="/wiki/Albrecht_Thaer" title="Albrecht Thaer">Albrecht Daniel Thaer</a>, a German researcher, designed by <a href="/wiki/Christian_Daniel_Rauch" title="Christian Daniel Rauch">Christian Daniel Rauch</a>. Attached to the atrium is a staircase with a spacious vestibule. The floors on the upper ground floor are decorated with ornamental mosaics. In the northwest part of the university building, a cast iron staircase leads to the upper floors. In four wall niches around the atrium, famous agricultural researchers are honored with marble busts. </p><p><b>Post-war work and modernizations</b> </p><p>At the end of the Second World War, the museum ensemble was severely damaged by a bombing raid (as shown under History) and in later street fighting. </p><p>The ruins of the Natural History Museum were then briefly rebuilt and could continue to be used, but the east wing remained empty for the time being. </p><p>The western part of the building ensemble was repaired in a simplified form after the war in 1946/1947 under the direction of Walter Krüger. Although procurement was not easy, color-coordinated natural stones were used. </p><p>After the fall of the Berlin Wall and the administrative reform, <a href="/wiki/Max_Dudler" title="Max Dudler">Max Dudler</a> was able to restore the wing of the Geological State Institute from 1996 to 2000 with financial support from the Berlin Senate. Since the German government moved to Berlin, it has housed the <a href="/wiki/Federal_Ministry_for_Digital_and_Transport" title="Federal Ministry for Digital and Transport">Federal Ministry for Digital Affairs and Transport</a>. </p><p>From mid-November 2006, after ten years of planning, the reconstruction of the east wing of the Natural History Museum, estimated at 29.6 million <a href="/wiki/Euro" title="Euro">euros</a>, began as a modern concrete building with historical facade reliefs. After four years of construction, the part of the building was opened to the public in September 2010 in time for the Natural History Museum's 200th birthday. In January 2012, the reconstruction carried out by the architectural firm Diener & Diener received the <a href="/w/index.php?title=DAM_Prize_for_Architecture_in_Germany&action=edit&redlink=1"
