St Gallen’s Natural History Museum has been around since 1846 but opened in a striking new building in November 2016. This is a couple of kilometres east of the centre of the city and has arranged the historic trove of specimens in more family-friendly ways.
Maybe the most famous taxidermy is a Nile crocodile captured in 1623 and you can view the almost-complete skeleton of an edmontosaurus.
Also worthy of mention is the relief map of the St Gallen and Appenzell cantons, the largest map of its kind in Switzerland.
