It's educational

I've never been very good at looking at specimens in jars, least of all mutated baby animals, but still we went to the Museum für Naturkunde around the corner. It was full of half-pints gauping at dinosaurs and taxidermied exotic and extinct creatures standing around, looking sad and beautiful and wrong. The large diorama's are pretty great, from around the 1920's they have perfect paint by numbers backgrounds and are a delight to see.

One of my favourite things was the mineral collection, with a huge display of otherworldly rocks and crystals. Whoahwhoahwhoah it's magic, you know...
