  • By Sarah F
    Wonderful mushroom collection, really well thought out and executed mise en scène of the different animal species on display in replicas of their natural habitat. I learned tons! Special shout-out to the sorted coughed up fur balls with all the little bones clearly out on display. Sounds ick but actually was wonderfully interesting!
  • By Marcel Suter
    Very well presented animals & geology information. Larger than expected, given the previous comments.
