The collection feels incredibly personal, like a well-loved archive put together by passionate explorers over many years. It’s the kind of place that surprises you with its depth and makes you want to learn more.

The star is undoubtedly that impressive cave bear skeleton, but don't miss the delicate fossils of ancient sea creatures and the surprisingly complete remains of a woolly mammoth.
