One of the most fascinating exhibits, that also serves as a functioning research room, is the Wet Collection of the Museum fur Naturkinde, in Berlin, Germany. This room is huge housing thousands of bottled specimens of preserved animals from around the world. It is a floor to ceiling collection with research benches found inside the room and a staircase going to more lab space above. Some may find it a little, well, icky, but I found it quite beautiful and compelling. It was one of the main reasons I wanted to visit the Museum in the first place.
