After being destroyed in WWII, this museum was rebuilt and now houses one of the largest wet collections in the world. Be aware, this room is not for the faint of heart — but if you can stomach the unusual, preserved zoological objects, you'll get a particularly unique photo.

This image was taken on the southwest corner of the Wet Collections (Nasssammlung) in the Natural History Museum (Museum für Naturkunde).
To get here, go through the main entrance of the Natural History Museum and then walk straight through the Dinosaur Hall. Turn right and go all the way to the end of the hall, until you cannot walk any further. On the left, you'll see the "Nasssammlung" (Wet Collections) in the east wing of the complex.
I also highly recommend getting a ticket online before you go to the museum to avoid lines
