In 1763, Johann Christian Senckenberg donated 95,000 guilders–his entire fortune–to establish a community hospital and promote scientific projects.[11][12] Senckenberg died in 1772. In 1817, 32 Frankfurt citizens founded the non-profit Senckenberg Nature Research Society, German: Senckenberg Gesellschaft für Naturforschung (SGN), which is a member of the Leibniz Association.[13][14][15] Soon after, Johann Georg Neuburg [de] donated his collection of bird and mammal specimens to the society.[14] The Naturmuseum Senckenberg was founded in 1821, just four years later.[a][17] Initially located near the Eschenheimer Turm,[18] the museum moved to a new building on Senckenberganlage in 1907.[19] In 1896 a mummified Egyptian child in their collection (inventory number ÄS 18) was the subject of the first mummy X-ray.[20] During World War II, the building was partly destroyed.[b] However, the exhibits had been evacuated before.[14]
Building
The neo-baroque building[21] housing the Senckenberg Museum was erected between 1904 and 1907 by Ludwig Neher [de] outside of the center of Frankfurt in the same area as the Johann Wolfgang Goethe University, which was founded in 1914.[22] The museum is owned and operated by the Senckenberg Nature Research Society.[23] The exhibition area covers 6,000 m2 (65,000 sq ft).[24]

As of 2022[update], a key holding is a fossilized Psittacosaurus (specimen SMF R 4970) from Liaoning, China, with clear bristles around its tail and visible fossilized stomach contents.[38][39][40] The specimen was first reported in 2002.[39][41] The exact date and locality of the discovery within Liaoning is unknown.[38] A controversial debate about the legal ownership arose.[38][42] In 2021, researchers described its cloaca in more detail and found similarities with the body outlet of birds.[43][44][45] In 2022, for the first time a belly button was found in a dinosaur fossil.[39][46] A physical life reconstruction of the animal was prepared by paleoartist Robert Nicholls.[47][48]
A living reconstruction of the extinct dodo and many other stuffed birds are shown in a permanent exhibition in the upper level.[57] Additionally, the museum owns a large and diverse collection of birds with 90,000 bird skins, 5,050 egg sets, 17,000 skeletons, and 3,375 spirit specimens (a specimen preserved in fluid).[58][59] This is 75% of the known bird species, only a minor part is exhibited.[59]
Reptiles
Anaconda is one of the oldest and most popular exhibits.[60] Since the remodeling finished in 2003, a new reptile exhibit addresses both the biodiversity of reptiles and amphibians and the topic of nature conservation.[61]
Display collections full of stuffed animals are arranged in the upper levels; among other things one can see one of twenty existing examples of the quagga, which has been extinct since 1883.[71][72]
Unique in Europe is a cast of the famous Lucy,[e] an almost complete skeleton of the upright, 1 m (3 ft 3 in) tall, hominid Australopithecus afarensis.[75] The exhibition also includes reconstructions of the heads of human ancestors.[75]

El Reino de Hungría entre 1526 y 1867 existió como un estado fuera del Sacro Imperio Romano,[1] pero como parte de las tierras de la Monarquía de los Habsburgo que se convirtió en el Imperio Austriaco en 1804. Tras la Batalla de Mohács en 1526, el país fue gobernado por dos reyes coronados (Juan I y Fernando I). Al principio, el territorio exacto bajo el dominio de los Habsburgo era objeto de disputa porque ambos gobernantes reclamaban todo el reino. Este período de inestabilida...
The Hexagonal Efficient Coordinate System (HECS), formerly known as Array Set Addressing (ASA), is a coordinate system for hexagonal grids that allows hexagonally sampled images to be efficiently stored and processed on digital systems. HECS represents the hexagonal grid as a set of two interleaved rectangular sub-arrays, which can be addressed by normal integer row and column coordinates and are distinguished with a single binary coordinate. Hexagonal sampling is the optimal approach for iso...
