Fantastic museum, but can't for the life of me see why Kim Westad, ('Ceramic Artist') is featured on your channel other than she is a woman. Her work just doesn't connect with your collection in any way!

Expecting no reply from etsy to this comment.

The Nature Lab is wonderful. I used to work there as a student just so I could try to draw everything in the collection. Studying nature is paramount to artists. One day I hope to teach in a classroom inspired by such a place.

Oh no. All the dead Animals!

This is disgusting.

surreal

[KiraArts]

I'd love to sketch/paint in there!

I like that the space is more of a cabinet of curiosities. I think it holds true to the old world sentiment of what a museum should have been.

Too, it looks like a creepy-cool place to be inspired and to create. And I like the hands-on approach the curators take, living up to the function of the original space when it was more of a classroom.

this is so cool..anyone know if those are real human skeletons? i'm guessing they are but if so..creepy

[Comickermuck]

There are actually several real ones behind the glass in the room, the ones loose in the room that you are able to pose and fiddle with are replicas.

[VegPanda]

Ghh.

Wonder how all those animals were killed.

[NeccoWecco]

Most are of natural causes and found. Others are hunted. The heads could have been from people who hunted them and used the meat for home and donated the rest.

[saywesay]

5:04 rabbit? bird? does anyone know what this is?

[emeraldsrain]

Agreed. That had to of been created. There's no way that creature exists.

[Comickermuck]

they have a tendency to construct fantastical creatures now and again from different specimens ;)

[leloodallasmultipass]

I liked this, but I liked the other ones better where they go to artist and handmade store owners homes and studios. :)
