Senckenbergmuseum



 The museum Senckenberg in Frankfurt am Main is one of the largest museum of natural history in Germany. Its popular with visitors, mainly because of its dinosaur fossil collection. It has been in existence for such a long time that it has become an attraction of its own: not for being sciency, but for displaying weird exhibits. Apart from good old T-Rex, you can find a a very dusty, stuffed anaconda eating a pig. There´s the usual stuffed animals, but also the scull of a conjoined twin calf. There are also exhibition cabinets from the 19th century displaying specimens in jars, immersed in formalin- a rather gruesome attraction, but very interesting.

january sketchcrawl in frankfurt, with thao mai. this was drawn in a japanese bakery called imori, where they serve sencha tea and melon bread. It was filled with asian tourists and bankers on their weekend stroll. I´ll probably spend the next sketchcrawl in Hamburg, looking forward to some harbour sketching.
