Visual artist Birgit Bjerre has immersed herself in the extensive archives of the Natural History Museum, exploring its preserved specimens, notebooks, and photographs. Fascinated by the researchers’ meticulous systematics and dedication, she sheds new light on their work.
 

In this exhibition, art and science converge as Bjerre’s work engage in dialogue with the museum’s collection. Her drawings and investigations not only explore the natural history objects themselves but also the people who, over time, have documented, preserved, and interpreted them. What does it mean to collect?
