Provenance research at the Museum Koenig

The animals on display at Museum Koenig are mostly representatives of their respective species. However, some exhibits have an exciting story to tell, for example because they come from a famous collector or only arrived at the Museum Koenig in Bonn via a circuitous route. The aim of the project is to find out and write down the special stories of individual specimens in the museum's exhibitions in order to make them accessible to the general public, for example in the form of popular science publications or as part of museum education programmes. This provenance project is being carried out on behalf of the museum's education department.
