Description:
The exhibition, in the inner courtyard of the LFW building, displays all kinds of specimens and models of animals covering two main subject areas. The zoological part consists essentially of a systematic overview of the animal kingdom, from single-cell organisms to vertebrates. Particular focus is placed on the diversity of vertebrates, with a number of specimens, skeletons and skulls.
