Art meets science – the geological museum

The geological museum is a place every decent nerd or geek should visit.

Halls with oil paintings of famous geologists and rows of wooden exhibition cases with typewritten explanations

The extinct ape oreopithecus and giant lemur megaladapis

Rosamond Purcell’s reconstruction of Ole Worm’s cabinet

If you don’t like rock samples and fossil bones, check out the art part, a vaulted stairway with art deco lamps and fresco paintings of chalk cliffs and ammonites!

A few pics from the web :-)

I wouldn’t be surprised, if “>Adele Blanc Sec came down the stairs
