Despite being half closed due to renovations, the National Museum of Nature and Science was still pretty awesome. I am captivated by this kind of insect taxidermy and the museum had these huge displays that were absolutely stunning.

I love looking at collections - no matter what they are - be it insects or buttons, seriously, haha. Would you happen to know the date of this collection? I always feel strange about anthropological explorations esp. from the late 1800s to the early 1900s due to the exploitation of certain cultures as well as wildlife, but I still cannot help but marvel at these kinds of collections.
ReplyDeleteWHOA!! Those are amazing. Did you get to learn about their process and how they were able to preserve the insects?
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately not, all the signs were in Japanese :((
ReplyDeleteI get what you're saying and I feel there are issues regarding a lot of the big museums.. I mean, the British Museum "owns" quite a lot of pieces that are, essentially, stolen.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Jenna :))
ReplyDeletethis is basically my dream.
ReplyDeleteI would love to go. The organization of the insects is perfection!
