Conservators' workshop
Welcome to the conservators' blog, where you can follow the work of preparing all the specimens for the new museum.
In a few years, the new Natural History Museum Denmark will open in the Botanical Garden in the heart of Copenhagen. Behind the scenes, the museum's exhibition department and conservators are preserving and installing more than 3,000 specimens from the collections in the new exhibitions.
The specimens come in all shapes and sizes – from the 17-metre-long dinosaur Misty to the smallest insect. Until the opening, the conservators will share photos and stories from their workshop and the new exhibition halls, where the work of building a new museum from scratch is well underway.
