Merger proposal[edit]

I'd like to expand this article with a history, a building and a collection section and I think it would make sense to include the "Rijksmuseum van Natuurlijke Historie" article in the history section of this article, since it is the direct precursor to the present Naturalis. Goodness Shamrock (talk) 11:33, 11 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If its other historical half, the Rijksmuseum van Geologie en Mineralogie, is a good indicator more can be said about the Natuurlijke museum as well, so this does not appear appropriate. Have mörser, will travel (talk) 06:06, 19 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Treating Rijksmuseum van Natuurlijke Historie separately seems the best choice. Most visitors to Naturalis are surely seeking more general information about the present museum.A short history on that page is appropriate but not a merge.Notafly (talk) 11:58, 8 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

this definitely needs its own article - the naturalis is very different indeed, plus a separate location. This article needs to be part of a larger story about the enlightenment in Leiden. Removing merge proposal. Jane (talk) 18:34, 8 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Falkland Island wolf specimens[edit]

According to this forum, the NBC is one of the few places in the world to contain a taxidermy specimen of the extinct Falkland Islands wolf. If any users here are in the area, would it be possible to take some photos of it and post it on commons? Thanks in advance Mariomassone (talk) 10:32, 23 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
