    This thread is inspired by a former exhibition at the historic aquarium at Natura Artis Magistra or simply Artis Zoo Amsterdam (which uses to have an immensly collection from living to dead creatures, objects of culture and art)

    The exhibition included board and card games, animal figurines, zoo maps and a model of the zoo beginning at the lower floor and a zoological (stuffed animals and skeletons) on the upper floor with a view sculptures along, representing the idea of Artis to built a place where culture and nature get present as a whole connected system

    So I started to wonder which collections may be owned by the zoochat community and if you see a connection between your zoological interest (like Artis idea of entlightment and the connection of everything) and the other collections/hobbies
