Natural History Museum of Tribhuvan University, Kathmandu

The Natural History Museum of Tribhuvan University has a rather extensive collection of stuffed animals, birds and fish. The exhibition hall has low ceiling and side rooms. The air is rather heavy with dampness and a chemical smell. Almost all the creatures are set in an aggressive attack or defense pose - baring their fangs, raising their wings.
