Wet collection storage

The Museum has an underground space for storage of all collections kept in alcohol, with direct access from the north wing of the main building.
The total surface of the storage space is about 1000 square metres, with 7000 meters of 50 cm deep shelves in a compact system and 100 metres of racks for industrial standard pallets, used for storage of larger containers. The alcohol building also includes 200 square metres of labs and storage of glassware and other utensils.
