The museum for natural history is a natural history museum in Berlin with more than 30 million objects. It is originally a part of the Humboldt's university to Berlin since the 1st of January, 2009 an endowment of the public right with the full name „Museum for natural history – Leibniz's institute of evolution and biodiversity research at the Humboldt's university to Berlin“.

The museum is known above all because of the skeleton by Brachiosaurus brancai, the worldwide biggest built up skeleton of a dinosaur. The up to now best preserved skeleton of the type was found by a German expedition in the Tendaguru layers of the colony at that time German East Africa, today Tanzania. The Art-Epithet brancai honours of the museum manager at that time Wilhelm von Branca who had allowed the financing of the expedition. Indeed, a detailed study was published by Taylor (2009) who compared the built up skeleton to the Holotyp of Brachiosaurus, and came to the end that the Tendaguru material is to be put in own type Giraffatitan.

The Brachiosaurus brancai is the central element of the new exhibition "Saurian world" in the roofed patio of the museum. This exhibition devotes itself to the archaeological site Tendaguru (upper law). Beside the Brachiosaurus other six dinosaurs are to be seen: Dicraeosaurus, Diplodocus, Kentrosaurus, Allosaurus, Dysalotosaurus and Elaphrosaurus. Exhibition islands devote themselves to the airspace or the aquatischen area of Tendaguru. Moreover, in the patio is to be seen the very well-preserved original of an Archaeopteryx („Berlin copy“), the oldest known bird from the Solnhofener record limes of South Germany.
