The Museum of Zoology at KU Leuven, located in Leuven, Flanders, is a compact and free-to-visit establishment featuring a variety of preserved animal specimens. Its collection includes stuffed birds, mammals, and even preserved frogs and pigs, alongside notable displays like a large whale skeleton hanging from the ceiling. The museum is relatively small, allowing for a quick exploration, typically taking around 15 minutes to tour. Access is straightforward, with limited information available primarily in Flemish.
Specific exhibitions within the museum showcase a diverse range of zoological specimens, appealing particularly to enthusiasts of natural history.
