Naturalis

 At last... our first visit to Naturalis Biodiversity Center.

One of the world's top five natural history collections

I noticed the impressive architecture...

but I was dying and focused to get a good glimpse of the vast collection.

Taxidermy is an art form by itself.  Have a look at this Caracal...

Dinosaur Era gallery 

Life gallery 

The aardvark is one of my many favourites...

My favourite place to be is Live Science :

a fraction of the huge ladybug collection by Oskar and Cécile Vogt...

Lot of drawers with specimen...

A giant deer molar just like the one the kenderman recently found at the beach...

Closing time... two of the last ones to leave... but we'll be back!
