Guided Story
Imagine standing in a 16th-century noble court, with centuries of stories etched into its walls. Look up at the magnificent beams above you; they've seen so much history unfold. Did you know that this museum's collections started with the passion of private collectors? Behind you, there's a particularly rare specimen on display: a taxidermied Tasmanian Tiger. It's extinct today, but here, you can admire it in all its glory. As you step outside, glance south, and you'll spot Sparrenberg Castle, adding a medieval charm to the cityscape, like a journey back in time.
