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.
