Should be called the Museum of Creepy Dead Things. Horrifying jars full of fish and worms, and dead birds piled up on shelves. Perfect for fans of the macabre and/or goths . Not for kids.

Ivabelle Arroyo

Un lugar para investigación bien aprovechado para divulgación. Es muy disfrutable el recorrido ante vitrinas con muestras de la biodiversidad animal y vegetal .

Hiroko Tabunoki

多くの標準標本が保管されており、展示 も工夫がされているので誰でも楽しめます。

Good quality, right next to the giant blue whale at the Beaty Museum. A bit expensive, so put on your sad & hungry face and ask for an extra scoop. - Jeffrey Werner
