Natuurhistorisch & Volkenkundig

NVM Oudenbosch

In this department situated on the top floor, you can admire many mounted (taxidermied) animals. Life-size dioramas attract a lot of attention. The recreated biotopes show, among other things, a look under water, hidden nests and vegetation. The longer you look, the more you see!

The hall is still largely furnished in the original 19th-century style, which gives this department a special character.

Animals in ethanol

Powerfully interesting for some, sinister for others: the sometimes strange organisms in formalin or ethanol. The liquid makes it possible to preserve and display fragile, organic tissues.
