Guided Story
Can you hear the soft rustle of leaves? That's the whisper of stories unfolding in this museum. Look up, the building itself is a testament to its long history as part of the university. Did you know some of the oldest records of pets in Europe are housed here? Behind you, near the Holy Cross Church, perhaps the first steps of domestication took place. Here, you can uncover the fascinating evolution of pets, from the first tamed wolves to our modern companions. And if you listen closely, the exhibits tell tales of animals that once inspired the art and culture of our ancestors.
