Art and Naturalienkammer of the Francke Foundations, Historic museum in Halle (Saale), Germany.
The Art and Naturalienkammer displays over 3,000 artifacts across natural history and artistic collections in original Baroque cabinets within the Historic Orphanage building.
August Hermann Francke established this cabinet of curiosities in the early 18th century as part of his educational institution to teach children about nature and creation.
The collection features diverse objects including natural specimens, art pieces, and cultural artifacts from India and America, reflecting 18th-century knowledge classification methods.
The museum welcomes visitors from Tuesday to Sunday between 10:00 AM and 5:00 PM, with adult tickets priced at 8 euros and free admission for visitors under 18.
A preserved Nile crocodile hangs from the ceiling, while unusual exhibits include a tattooed fish, fossilized Hungarian cheese, and historical Chinese footwear.
