Go behind the scenes to explore how the natural world is preserved through fluid-preserved specimens, historic herbaria, field journals, and scientific sketches documenting centuries of research into life on Earth.
Learn how generations of natural historians have documented, classified, and interpreted biodiversity, and how these collections continue to play a vital role in understanding today's environmental challenges, including biodiversity loss, climate change, and species extinction.
Guided by a curator, this exclusive tour reveals the scientific and historical importance of museum archives and their relevance in addressing the ongoing biodiversity crisis.
