The main section of the exhibition is a diorama – first in Poland 3-dimentional model of amber forest in 1:1 scale. On the exhibition it is possible to trace history of amber – from liquid resin forming different types of traps, in which animals and insects were entombed, to the inclusions – preserved in amber evidences, what of what has happened over 40 million years ago in the Eocene forest. In the specially designed exhibition boxes it is possible to observe in details 41 animal inclusions. Complementing the exposition are plant inclusions and nuggets of raw and polished Baltic amber. The latter show the richness of the colours of “Baltic gold”. An interesting part of the exhibition is the collection of fossil resins from all over the world, among which the is the oldest resin, from the Triassic, aged 230 million years.
