About this ebook:
In an old wooden box rolls a rounded skull with a huge beak and big empty eye holes. It is the skull of the extinct Dodo. The skull along with the fossil of four-legged fish, the skeleton of a blue whales and a collection of snails made by the famous fairy tale writer Hans Christian Andersen are all part of the treasures of one of the oldest museums in the world. Author Hanne Strager takes us behind the scenes of the museum and tells the fascinating stories of these and other objects in this beautiful and lavishly illustrated book.
