Since its foundation one hundred years ago, countless animal specimens have been collected in the Natural History Museum in Jena, Germany. Some animals live in the museum, where they are admired by visitors and studied by researchers. Human remains are also part of the collection. From a zoological perspective, humans are part of the animal world, simultaneously making themselves the object of their own research. Through the unusual world of objects held in this Museum, the film explores this irritating ambiguity and observes the work of the museum. Often, the scientific approach to the objects reaches its limits and gives way to emotional moments. What relation to nature does the natural history museum teach us?
