The Wet Collections, Natural History Museum (Museum für Naturkunde)

@karstenkoehn
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 (https://www.museumfuernaturkunde.berlin/en). By Subway: - Closest station: Naturkundemuseum Station (via U6 line) - Exit the station and head Southeast on Chausseestraße toward Invalidenstraße - Turn right onto Invalidenstraße - Slight right and stay on Invalidenstraße - Turn right again and the destination will be on the left Address: The Natural History Museum, Invalidenstraße 43, 10115 Berlin
