Abstract

Museums are more than a warehouse or storage place; museums are places of communication and education. The knowledge evolves from comparative studies of historical and current exhibits. Although numbers of exhibits are relevant, it is the potential of each single object which helps understanding natural and cultural history. Highlights of our zoological collection are regional collections of Geometridae, Mollusca, and Avifauna as well as juvenile vertebrates. In the context of new technologies and citizen science, it is now time for transparent magazines and international cooperation to prepare the path for tomorrow’s museums.
