Source
Opened in 1754 as the Ducal Art and Natural History Cabinet, the museum has a rich history. It houses both scientific collections and exhibition collections. The scientific study collection is significantly larger than the publicly accessible part of the permanent exhibition, indicating the depth and breadth of the museum's resources.
The Extensive Study Collection
The museum's study collection is extensive and diverse, including 3,000 mammals, 50,000 birds, 10,300 bird eggs, 4,000 skulls and skeletons, 500 antlers and horns, 1,000 fish, amphibians and reptiles, as well as 80,000 butterflies, 85,000 beetles, 100,000 shells and snails, and 5,000 specimens from the field of paleontology. This wide range of specimens provides a comprehensive overview of the natural world.
Permanent Exhibitions at the Museum
In addition to its study collection, the museum also features several permanent exhibitions. These exhibitions cover a variety of topics, including aquariums, dioramas (which present prepared animals in a setting that mimics their habitat), birds, insects, invertebrates, and fossils. These exhibitions provide a more interactive and engaging way for visitors to learn about the natural world.
