Tay Nguyen Biological Museum


Da Lat, Vietnam (VN)
The rooms on the 2nd floor are filled with collections that make some sense at first. Fungi, insects, and birds fill the 1st few rooms. The specimens have labels on them with their Vietnamese name, the donor, and the year. Some of them date as far back as the early 1700s. Some of these show their age, bulging in some places, with wires exposed in others. As you move into the other rooms, things start to seem strange. Satellites, an elephant, rabbits, a house cat, a sea turtle, and a 2-headed pig in formaldehyde are in the main exhibit room.
