As stuffed animals go the exhibitions are very nice, newly renovated and inspiring. We have visited the museum several times and find always new details and things to study. Reasonably priced and close to the center. More

Exhibits are very nice and the quality of the taxidermy is astounding. The museum is easy to navigate and is very... More

Pearl! Front of the museum is a handsome big moose statue, so go in to an adventure. This does not pale in comparison to any of the zoo-museums such as London, Vienna or Berlin. Very, very beautiful, especially in the wake of the new renovations. Here, it takes several hours and lookthis little Jurassic Park, Indiana Jones, or Terra Nova.... More

It is simply too bad that such a nice building is used for this. The museum world has long ago progressed beyond this level of exhibition. Anyone who has seen one of the Smithsonian museums, the War Museum in Seoul, or almost any major museum in Europe will wonder why they don't just hire a curator who has kept up... More

I visited recently the Museum of Natural History in Helsinki. The museum is located in an old Russian boy school (time when Finland was part of Russia). The museum was re-opened a couple of years ago. The museum has an impressive exhibition on Finnish nature and a fairly nice exhibition currently on Africa and how research is done. You can... More
