Mammals

The Swedish Museum of Natural History maintains a considerable collection of mammals, mainly skins and skeletons, but also alcohol preserved. The collection is available for scientists although some of the specimens are mounted and used in public exhibitions.

The collection includes specimens from expeditions all over the world. Many of the recent specimens are animals sent to the museum following the Swedish legislation on protected species.

A smaller part of the mammal collection is available online at the Linnaeus serverexternal link, which presents the historical collections in Zoology and Botany at the Swedish Museum of Natural History.
