Below is a brief summary of the Museum's collections.
The Human History collection
The Natural History Collection
The natural history collections contain about 70,000 specimens of plants, animals, rocks, minerals and fossils. The founders of the museum and other 19th century naturalists presented most of these specimens. Material was collected from Europe and all over the world. The early documentation for the collections is particularly interesting and includes detailed catalogues, and field notebooks about birds and wild flowers.
