Admire Taxidermied Animals, Colorful Butterflies and Special Collections in a Unique 19th-Century Museum Setting

On the upper floor, countless taxidermied animals can be admired, with life-size dioramas that bring complete biotopes to life. You see a glimpse underwater, hidden nests and rich vegetation – the longer you look, the more details you discover. The hall is largely furnished in the original 19th-century style, which gives the department a special character.

In addition to an informative exhibition about native butterflies, there are drawers full of exotic specimens with brilliant colors. You’ll also find the “”wet specimens”” collection here – sometimes intriguing, sometimes macabre – in which organisms are preserved in formalin or ethanol, allowing their delicate tissues to be preserved for study and admiration.

Wet Specimens

For some powerfully interesting, for others macabre: the sometimes strange organisms in formalin or ethanol. The liquid makes it possible to preserve and display delicate, organic tissues.
