The Natural History Museum is the ultimate Wunderkammer
Oh, man, yesterday was definitely one of the most exciting days – as far as filming is concerned. We spent hours and hours filming in a truly amazing location, the Museum für Naturkunde in Berlin Mitte – in both the public exhibition and the scientific collections behind the scenes. Thanks to two old friends we got the whole tour and permission to publish. I am glad I remembered to take at least a handful of stills to document the shoot. 
The Museum itself is over a 100 years old, the collection in parts dating back to the 1700s and houses over 30 Million items, just to bring the point home, that’s a lot of zeroes: 30.000.000! And if there is a box with 100 tiny crabs in it, that only counts as 1.
And for just a couple of Euros you can become a part of this beautiful house by sponsoring one of the boxes they keep the insects in, that will forever have your name attached to it.
