The mammoth at Bernink’s
Around seventy bones make up the mammoth story in the study. See which parts are present and where reconstruction is needed to understand a skeleton.
Cabinets of curiosities and prehistory
The worldwide animal collection, fossils and minerals raise different questions: provenance for specimens, age for fossils and composition for rock.
Funky Forest and lab
The digital forest responds interactively, while the lab shows specimen preparation. Compare simulation and real specimen, and ask what each medium can and cannot show.
