Scientific instruments alongside shamanic and ritual fetishes constitute the artificialia that counterbalance the marvellous and mysterious human biological \u201cmachine\u201d, well represented by two life-size anatomical wax models placed transversally across the exhibition route.<\/p>\n<p>Minerals, corals, sponges, skeletons, skulls, leopards and anteaters guarantee wonder and stir emotions.<\/p>\n<p>At the end of the Wunderkammer, a display case containing the museum&#8217;s oldest historical collection stands out. It consists of eleven glass bottles containing stuffed animals, prepared in a spectacular manner. These are the famous bottles of <strong>Jean Baptiste Fourcault<\/strong>, made between 1760 and 1770, according to a method of preparation that remained unknown for almost three centuries.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-43668","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>1.
