We spent a brilliant few hours here and I'd highly recommend it, especially if you have children the same age as ours (8 to 13).

The museum itself is really well done and very informative, including plenty of hands-on elements. Upstairs are clothes the children can try on, and a great view.

We hired a couple of hammers and chisels and descended into the quarry to go fossil hunting. It's really surreal, far away the machines are working, still mining the limestone, but where we were sent, down near the turquoise pools, it's really calm and almost quiet.

We didn't find anything spectacular (compared to the stuff on display at the top), but every single piece of rock was cool, mostly it was fossilised Coral, but it's impressive. Needless to say, some pieces came home with us.

You should also try the local Faxe Kondi soft drink whilst you're...

The Museum itself is pretty small and dogs are not allowed inside. But they're allowed in the quarry. Just make sure dogs and children stay close to you as the trucks are driving at a high speed. You can take a walk through the limestone quarry or borrow a hammer and chisel to dig for fossils yourself. It's pretty cheap to borrow the utensils but our hammer was broken and the head kept falling of so it wasn't of any use. You don't really need the utensils anyway, just look through the rumble on the sides and you should find at least some corrals. Also don't dress in your best clothes since you will get pretty dirty and watch out for the trucks and other vehicles. They're driving at a pretty high speed for a place where pedestrians might be walking. But don't jump to the side to get out of their way, you might just loose a shoe in the wet...

Det er et kendt problem, at kulturfonde giver til bygninger, men ikke til indhold. Geomuseet er nok det værste eksempel, jeg endnu har oplevet. For 60 kr pr voksen kan man andre steder fx opleve Thorvaldsens museum og andre uvurderlige perler med timers indhold og oplevelse. På Stevns får man adgang til et enkelt rum med nogle forsteninger og plancher. På vejen til rummet passerer man et tilsvarende stort rum med skeletter, der spiller rockmusik. Man kunne jo i stedet have illustreret de 900 års kalkminedrift, der er lovet på plakater udenfor. Historiske værktøjer, formål med kalken? Jeg ved stadig ikke hvad kalken overhovedet skulle bruges til. Til sammenligning er fx Rammelsbergminen i Harzen forbilledlig - her kan man live opleve forskellige epokers minedrift og redskaber. Men tilbage til Stevns: I rummet ovenpå er der forsteninger af fx hajtænder og dele af andre dyr uden billeder eller noget som helst, der kan anskueliggøre fundene en smule for ikke-geologer. Hvad med illustrationer af, hvordan koralrevene, dyr og planter rent faktisk så ud dengang? Interaktiviteten er begrænset til en enkelt gammel skærm på størrelse med en Ipad. Et par plasticdyr ophængt i loftet. Udenfor viser et skilt NED til en såkaldt udkigsplatform, hvor udsigten er væsentligt dårligere end der, hvor skiltet står. Her kunne man jo have nogle solide borde, hvor besøgende kunne lægge og undersøge deres fund. Samt nogle plancher om hvad man typisk kan finde. Og sådan er det hele vejen igennem. Uden hoved og hale, helt uden sans for formidling; et spændende materiale med stort turisme-potentiale tabes helt og aldeles på gulvet. Det absolut eneste plus er, at man kan låne hammer og mejsel uden at betale de 20 kr i leje, endnu et håbløst skilt opfordrer til. Vores børn syntes det var spændende at hakke i kalken. Og udsigten ER flot; specielt hvis man holder sig fra udkigsplatformen. Men udsigt og kalkbrud kan sagtens opleves uden at betræde det aldeles håbløse museum. Gid Stevns kommunes kulturforvaltning ville sende nogle kompetente videns-formidlere ud til museet og give det en ordentlig overhaling. Jeg tror selv jeg, der intet aner om geologi, ville kunne...

The geological museum is not spectacular but really educational for the younger kids. It also gives you very good insights on what fossils you could find in the mining area below. (~20minute walk) You can bring your own tools and start hunting for fossils for free or loan them for 50DKK at the museum. We visieet the museum with our 2 kids (3 & 6 yrs) and they liked it very much. Also to get them hyped to start the adventure of finding their own fossils. We spended in the museum ~30mins, In the mining area ~2hours but could easily spend more time as you find more and more. Tip: On sunny days, wear sunglasses and bring sufficient water with you
