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
For example I started to collected rocks, sand samples, wood, minerals snail houses and muacle shells (rhere were all empty, and are not exotic) animal figurines, zoo guides and maps (not the best, but quiet a lot of each) live plants kept animals (fat tailed gerbil mongolian gerbil, babary striped mice, campbel amd dsungarian dwarf hamster, syrian hamster, desert horned lizard, milk tree frog, amazonas tank, most exotic rabbit) art self made and from other artists
