The Natural History Museum in Vienna is home to many worlds representing the full spectrum of evolution. This world-famous knowledge institute collects everything that people have found over the centuries, from our earth and space, to archive and study in the name of evolutionary research

This documentary sheds light on these frozen pasts, offering a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at this massive research project. Because the past also offers answers to contemporary questions about the future of our existence on earth.


TALK Ook in Nijmegen zijn de schatten van de aarde te bewonderen, in het museum voor natuur en cultuurhistorie De Bastei. Iedere week komen preparateurs samen om hun collectie uit te breiden. Ook hoofd van de collectie Daphne Niehoff zet regelmatig haar mes in een vogel of reptiel. In dit programma legt ze de stappen uit vanaf ontleding tot het opzetten van de dieren. Ook licht ze een tipje van de sluier op van hun eigen archief. Vol met zoogdieren, vlinders, torren en exotische exemplaren die in lang vervlogen dagen zijn meegebracht door missionarissen uit tropische oorden.  

Dit programma in een samenwerking met De Bastei.

Thoughts ripple over the pages of a personal notebook, kept during a stay at different science labs in Zürich. They float from one to another, like a mind map of unfinished ideas on memory, medical imaging, cells, and aging.
