The
best
collection
of
bird
taxidermy
I
have
ever
seen.
Beats
the
National
History
Museum
in
London,
which
displays
only
a
handful
of
species
in
comparison.
Some
of
the
exhibits
here
date
back
to
the
19th
century!
Of
course
some
examples
are
a
bit
goofy
but
for
early
taxidermy
they
still
hold
up
pretty
nicely.
You
can
compare
different
bird
species
across
the
world,
including
such
continents
like
the
Americas,
Australia,
Europe
and
Asia.
There
is
also
a
room
showing
early
dioramas
showing
birds
in
their
natural
habitats.
These
are
ingenious
and
nice
to
look
at.
A
different
great
room
is
devoted
to
marine
animals,
with
the
big
blue
whale
model
towering
over
other
sea
mammals.
Another
impressive
encounter
is
in
the
land
mammals
section,
where
you
can
find
a
preserved
African
Elephant.
I
would
only
complain
that
the
absence
of
English
labels
is
quite
painful.
I
could
not
learn
about
the
dioramas
or
a
Swedish
scientist
who
prepared
them,
also
all
animals
are
only
presented
by
their
Swedish
and
Latin
name.
There
are
also
minor
inconveniences,
like
a
faulty
elevator
or
an
uninspired
shop
with
too
little
actual
scientific
books.
The
collection
is
great
but
I
would
hope
for
some
more
adjustment
to
make
the
experience
more
enjoyable!
