The objects in the collection are the subject of scientific research by more than 40 museum researchers. The museum has a special scientific library with approximately 151,000 media units (mainly documents from the fields of zoology, soil zoology, botany, ecology, geology and palaeontology). In addition to specialist literature for the research work of scientists, it also offers generally understandable literature from the fields of natural sciences and the history of the region and can be used by the public.

Society established its own museum on the centrally located Marienplatz on the former city moat area on the initiative of the physician and pharmacist W. J. Kleefeld and the Economic Commission Councillor Georg von Möllendorff. It was ceremoniously opened by Möllendorff on 26 October 1860. After the reconstruction of the museum building, President Walther Freise was able to reopen the collections in 1902. In 2008, the museum was accepted into the Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz scientific community. Since 1 January 2009 it has belonged together with the
