Potsdam - Aquarium opening: Natural History Museum welcomes the crowds
Following the reopening of the aquarium at the Potsdam Natural History Museum in November, the number of visitors has increased significantly. "We had over 1,000 visitors on the weekend after the opening - which is a lot," said a spokeswoman for the museum. Normally, the museum is half as full at weekends. Shortly afterwards, the 30,000-visitor mark for 2023 was already broken. This number of visitors had not even been reached before the pandemic. "Visitors are running us ragged," said the spokesperson.
Almost 40 native fish species are on display in the museum's aquarium. These include animals that are now quite rare, such as the burbot, the nase and the grayling. The fish - from stickleback to catfish - have settled in well, the spokeswoman emphasized. However, a pike is still missing.

The reopening of the aquarium at the Potsdam Natural History Museum has attracted crowds of visitors, surpassing pre-pandemic numbers. This surge in interest has also extended to other Museums in Brandenburg, drawing in a variety of nature enthusiasts. The natural history museum's aquarium now houses nearly 40 native fish species, many of which are becoming increasingly rare, such as the burbot and the nase. Despite the success, the museum spokesperson laments, "Visitors are running us ragged." On weekends, one can expect to find crowded halls filled with people eager to explore the aquarium's diverse collection, which includes species like stickleback and catfish, with a prospective addition of a missing pike.
