A walk through the new display collection provides insight into current collection activity, modern research methods, and historical collections.

The museum opens part of its scientific collections to the public: Scientific collections store millions of animals and plants. These valuable archives of nature document biodiversity - the variety of life - and at the same time make visible how it is dwindling. In the "Wunderkammer," a classic and at the same time highly topical wet collection with thousands of preserved animals in jars, one encounters witnesses of loss at every turn. But also of the efforts to document and preserve the diversity of life.

Thus, the exhibition makes one see scientific collections with new eyes: Perhaps the audience enters a supposedly whimsical natural history cabinet and leaves an impressive research site of biodiversity.
