Technical Assistant Mammalogy & Palaeoanthropology Section

Accompany Alexander Daasch from the mammal department of the Leibniz Institute for the Analysis of Biodiversity Change into the collection rooms, which are otherwise closed to the public, and gain an insight into the work of a technical assistant at the Museum der Natur Hamburg. The Hamburg mammal collection contains thousands of skeletons, skins and specimens in alcohol - only a small part of which is visible in the exhibition. During the guided tour of the collection, Alexander Daasch will report on the daily work and research foci of the department and present interesting objects and curiosities.

From 14 July, Alexander Daasch will also be one of the protagonists of our special exhibition "People make museum - Collection"
