 After long discussions a renaming was announced, but then delayed.From 30 December 2008 the Berlin firm WALL AG, in anticipation of the renaming, made seven decorative advertisement panels available on which the Museum für Naturkunde displayed large-format color photographs of museum staff working with various objects from the collections.With the official change in the timetable by the BVG on 13 December 2009 the renaming as "Naturkundemuseum" finally took place.
