The Museum Maker

What happens behind the doors of a research museum - where the exhibition ends and the collection rooms begin; where people explore the diversity of nature with great curiosity, where they prepare animals and plan exhibitions and events for visitors to the museum? What drives them, why did they choose this profession?

In the new exhibition series "People make museums", we introduce people who work at the Leibniz Institute for the Analysis of Biodiversity Change. We show the areas that visitors don't normally see and invite them to join in.

The series begins with three female scientists who present their very personal research world at the Museum der Natur Hamburg and describe why they are so fascinated by the cosmos of butterflies, worms and mussels and why their research is important for everyone.
