Description

It consists mainly of objects from the norwegian mainland, but also has a small historic collection of birds collected between 1860 and 1910 from all over the world (app. 450 objects). This historic collection includes many species which today are endangered, threatened or distinct. The collection consists mainly of mounted objects, but there are also some skeletons, skulls and objects preserved on ethanol.
