Jazyk obsahu
An enlarged bird’s egg reveals structures hidden when looking at the shell alone. Eggs from different species accompany the model, providing specimens for comparison. The exhibition also introduces ornithology, the study of birds, and the question of their origins, which gives this display its theme. It is the opening part of the museum’s ornithological presentation.
A separate topic explores different types of nests. Together with the eggs and the model of their interior, they tell a story about birds through concrete aspects of their lives. Rather than concentrating on the appearance of adults, the display includes their beginnings and breeding places. When comparing the exhibits, visitors can distinguish actual eggs from different species from the enlarged model used to explain internal structure.
