I did not find the was body parts disturbing. They are great if you like figure drawing. One should not lean on the glass cases. The collection of taxidermied animals is quite extensive, esp. the aviary sections. Again, a real treat if one wants to sketch. Who knew there waer 40 different types of snails?
