The conservation blog
Welcome to our website following the conservation unit as we prepare the exhibitions for the new museum building of the Natural History Museum of Denmark (NHMD). We hope you will follow our team and our work as we prepare and conserve thousands of varied specimens, from a whale heart to tiny insects! We will also be developing new preservation techniques, expanding on existing methods, and exploring alternative ways of displaying specimens.
