Maastricht Natural History Museum is a museum of natural history in Maastricht, Netherlands. The museum is located in a former monastery called Grauwzustersklooster in the historic district Jekerkwartier in the centre of Maastricht.
The collection is dedicated to the geology, paleontology, flora and fauna of South Limburg.
