The Biological Museum in Stockholm, around 1900 and today. It is located on the island of Djurgården in Stockholm, next to the main entrance to the Skansen open-air museum (on the left in the picture). The museum was built in 1893 in the style of a traditional Swedish stave church. It displays stuffed animals and a diorama, one of the oldest preserved of its kind. It was a big attraction at the Stockholm Exhibition in 1897. However, as early as 1910 it was criticized as outdated and narrowly escaped demolition. The museum was renovated for its 100th anniversary in 1993. In 2008 it again narrowly escaped destruction, this time by fire (probably arson). The museum has been closed for renovations since 2017 because the building is in poor condition, visitor numbers are low and there are no maintenance options. When (and if?) the museum will reopen is still uncertain.
