The Bürgermeister-Müller-Museum is a paleontological and geological museum in Solnhofen, a municipality in the district of Weissenburg-Gunzenhausen in central Franconia. The museum achieved a certain international reputation by owning two originals of the primeval bird Archeopteryx found in the region. [1] The exhibition also includes lithography. The museum is located in Solnhofen Town Hall and has the address Bahnhofstraße 8.

Hiking

In the town hall of Solnhofen, opposite the train station, there is the mayor miller museum. You can see here great fossils of animals and plants from the Jurassic period. A special attraction is the petrified "Urvogel" Archaeopterix. One of only 12 copies worldwide, but all of them were found here in the area.
Open April-October 9-17, November-March 13-16.
Admission 5 €, children 3,50 €.

There is a combined ticket for the museum and for the quarry.
First a little theory and then knocking stones yourself 😉
