Caribbean Curiosities!

We have a new column in The Daily Herald‘s Weekender section called Caribbean Curiosities. Each week we take a closer look at something featured in the museum. We’ll be posting all the articles on the Les Fruits de Mer news page, and you can head over now to see the first two.

Every time we create an exhibit, we’re faced with the challenge of what to include and what to leave out. Luckily, with the Caribbean Curiosities articles, we’ll be able to do a deeper dive on some fascinating topics. Grab it in the Saturday Daily Herald every week!

Promenade

Take a little promenade through the museum with Hungry and Hippo as your guides! We are currently open for holiday preview hours on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 4-8pm. Keep an eye out for our official grand opening in January!

Preparing Skulls, Part Three

Here’s the final installment of our Preparing Skulls series! We think you’ll find that it all comes together quite nicely for these rather handsome skulls. But don’t worry, we’ll continue to showcase more behind the scenes action as we get the rest of our exhibits ready for display.



Soapberry Bugs

Soapberry bugs might make a good exhibit for the museum. Check out this short video about soapberry bugs and the soapberry vine that they depend on. With a little luck, we’re hoping to have both growing strong at Amuseum Naturalis this season.



Preparing Skulls, Part One

As we prepare the museum for the new season, we are excited to take you behind the scenes to see how everything comes together to make Amuseum Natualis. In this video, we go through the initial steps of preparing skulls for display.
