Mission museum, Steyl, Mission museum in Steyl, Netherlands.
The Mission Museum contains over 1000 preserved specimens including mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, butterflies, beetles, and scorpions from worldwide expeditions.
Founded in 1931, the museum emerged from the expanding collection of natural specimens gathered by Society of the Divine Word missionaries during their global travels.
The museum displays artifacts from multiple continents, reflecting encounters between Catholic missionaries and diverse communities in China, Papua New Guinea, Ghana, and Paraguay.
Located at Sint Michaëlstraat 7, the museum maintains entry fees of 4.50 euros for adults and 2.50 euros for children, with guided tours available.
A mechanized taxidermy bear with crossed eyes greets visitors at the entrance, representing the early preservation techniques used by missionary naturalists.
