English summary: Medieval meteorites, giant dinosaur skeletons, frogs in alcohol and DNA samples from bats. These are just some of the 30 million things the Museum fur Naturkunde Berlin holds in its collections. Each of them has a story to tell – of expeditions and accidental finds, of insights gained and mistakes made. They’ll take you on a journey from the depths of the oceans, around the Earth and up into outer space. Along the way, you’ll meet explorers, scientists and artists and learn astonishing things about the nature of our world. German description: Erst durch ganz eigene Verfahren werden Gegenstande aus der Natur zu Museumsobjekten, also zu Wissensdingen, die Fragen beantworten und neue aufwerfen konnen. Mit diesen naturkundlichen Objekten verbinden sich unterschiedliche, teils unerwartete Geschichten von Sammelreisen oder Zufallsfunden, von Erkenntnisgewinn und wissenschaftlichen Irrtumern. Uber 80 Autor*innen erzahlen faszinierende Geschichten uber Museumsdinge aller Art. So zeigt der Band auf, welche innovativen Wege Museen in der Interpretation ihrer Sammlungen beschreiten konnen. Mit Beitragen von Natur- und Kulturwissenschaftler*innen, Schriftsteller*innen, Kunstschaffenden, Museumsmitarbeiter*innen und Besucher*innen, darunter Mark Benecke, Renate Kunast, Yoko Tawada, Hanns Zischler u. v. m.
