Biological Museum
The Biological Museum ( Swedish Biologiska Museet ) is located on Djurgården in Stockholm and shows Scandinavian mammals and birds in their natural environment. All animals are stuffed .
The Biological Museum is located on Djurgården right next to the former main entrance Hazelius Porten to the Skansen open-air museum . It was founded in 1893 by the conservator Gustaf Kolthoff and was designed by the architect Agi Lindegren in the style of a stave church . The museum shows a collection of prepared Scandinavian mammals and birds in lifelike backdrops and sceneries on the upper floor. The coherent circular horizon running around the entire exhibition hall, a so-called diorama , comes from the Swedish animal painter Bruno Liljefors . An ice grotto on Spitsbergen and a valley in eastern Greenland are reproduced on the ground floor . A total of 299 different species are on display, many of which are still in their original state, i.e. H. have never been restored. The museum was a big crowd puller at the Stockholm Exhibition in 1897 and was not demolished after the exhibition. For the 100th anniversary in 1993, the Biological Museum was thoroughly renovated.
In August 2017, the museum was closed indefinitely for renovation work as the building is in poor condition, has few visitors and there are no maintenance options.
