EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the National Museum in Bangkok, circa 1890. The image, captured by Robert Lenz during the late 19th century, showcases the museum's interior filled with an array of taxidermy displays featuring exotic animals from Asia. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot, our eyes are immediately drawn to a magnificent rhinoceros standing proudly at the center of one of the vitrines. Its lifelike presence is a testament to both the artistry and scientific curiosity that went into preserving these creatures for educational purposes. The gallery itself is adorned with various other animal exhibits, including bears and wildlife native to Thailand. Each display tells a story of natural history and offers visitors a glimpse into South East Asian fauna. Stepping into this hall feels like stepping back in time, immersing oneself in Siamese culture and heritage. The carefully arranged galleries provide an opportunity for exploration and learning about the rich biodiversity that thrived within Thailand's borders. Photographed by Mzphoto as part of Bridgeman Images' collection, this remarkable piece captures not only a moment frozen in time but also serves as a reminder of how museums have long played an essential role in educating society about our planet's diverse ecosystems.
