My Favorite Museum🧠📚 / Mi Museo Favorito🦩🐚🐠🐙
Greetings to my friends addicted to science! Today I bring you a super special post, we are going to see one of the most preserved taxidermy collections in the world! and that is why personally it is so far the museum that has impressed me the most and believe me I have visited a lot! We will travel to the Funchal region and enter a museum that has been open for almost 100 years and inside we will find works by the famous taxidermist "Günther Maul", so what are we waiting for? Let's enjoy his work!🤩📚🧠

Saludos a mis amigos adictos a la ciencia! hoy les traigo un post super especial, vamos a ver una de las colecciones de taxidermia mas conservadas del mundo! y es por eso que en lo personal es hasta ahora el museo que mas me ha impresionado y creeme que e visitado muchisimos! viajaremos a la region de Funchal y entraremos en un museo que lleva abierto casi 100 años y dentro encontraremos trabajos del famoso taxidermista "Günther Maul", entonces que esperamos? disfrutemos de sus trabajos!👨🏫👨💻👴
Funchal Natural History Museum👨🏫🧠/ Museo Natural de Funchal🕋
A few months ago I was talking with a friend about ornithology since we both like birds and he told me that in Funchal there was a museum with great taxidermy work including birds and fish, from that day I was very curious until I decided to go and visit the museum! It was created in 1929 and is one of the oldest museums in Portugal and the oldest in the Madeira region! more than 41 thousand species of animals and plants are exhibited in this small museum!😱📚👨💻
Hace unos meses conversaba con un amigo sobre ornitologia ya que a ambos nos gustan las aves y el me comento que en funchal existia un museo con grandes trabajo de taxidermia incluyendo aves y peces, desde ese dia quede con mucha curiosidad hasta que decidi ir y visitar el museo! fue creado en el año 1929 es uno de los museos mas antiguos de Portugal y el mas antiguo de la region de Madeira! mas de 41mil especies de animales y plantas son exhibidos en este pequeño museo!🚩😮😃
Günther Maul👨🏫🧠/ Quien fue Günther Maul 🕋
This character in my personal point of view is among the best taxidermists in history, I had never seen works with birds that are almost 100 years old so well preserved and worked on, the question is?? who was Gunther? the museum gives us a little story about the personal life of this german born in frankfurt in 1909 Mr. Günther was very prepared and did his taxidermy and dermoplasty course in germany, Günther was invited to the island of Madeira in 1930 he took the position in the museum as a taxidermist and at the same time he was its founder!😲😲
Este personaje en mi punto de vista personal esta entre los mejores taxidermista de la historia, nunca habia visto trabajos con aves que tienen casi 100 años tan bien conservados y trabajados, la pregunta es?? quien fue Günther? el museo nos da una pequeña historia sobre la vida personal de este aleman nacido en Frankfurt en 1909 el Señor Günther fue muy preparado y realizo su curso de taxidermia y dermoplastia en alemania, Günther fue invitado a la isla de Madeira en el año 1930 ocupo el cargo en el museo como taxidermista y al mismo tiempo fue su fundador!🕵️♂️👨🏫
Gunther's works👨🏫🧠/ Trabajos de Günther 🕋
Have you ever wondered how they used to get specimens of marine animals that inhabit depths of up to 2000 meters if the technology that we have today did not exist? many scientists like Günther had some "contracts" with fishermen that when they caught fish they opened their stomachs and when they saw a different animal they took the specimen to Günther and that was how he got many species of very rare animals! He worked for 60 years in the museum and died in 1997. He never retired and continued creating science until the end of his days, leaving his mark on modern science! published more than 55 scientific papers, discovered more than 10 new species! Mr. Günther was not only German, he loved living and feeling Portuguese! therefore he was part of the Portuguese science!👨🏫👴👴
Te has preguntado como hacian anteriormente para conseguir ejemplares de animales marinos que habitan profundidades de hasta 2000 metros si no existia la tecnologia que disponemos hoy en dia? muchos cientificos como Günther tenian algunos "contratos" con pescadores que cuando capturaban peces les abrian el estomago y cuando veian algun animal diferente le llevaban el ejemplar a Günther y era asi como consiguio muchas especies de animales muy raros! trabajo 60 años en el museo y fallece en 1997 nunca se jubilo y continuo creando ciencia hasta el fin de sus dias dejando su huella en la ciencia moderna! publico mas de 55 trabajos cientificos, descubrio mas de 10 especies nuevas! el señor Günther no solo era aleman amaba vivir y sentirse Portugues! por tanto formo parte de la ciencia portuguesa!🧠👨💻
Günther Legacy👨🏫🧠/ El legado de Günther 🕋
Doing taxidermy is something that is not easy at all and requires a lot of technique and years of experience. One day I had the privilege of doing taxidermy on some birds at the experimental science school in Venezuela and from experience it is very difficult, but Günther made it seem that this job was very easy, and he was able to create the best preservations in the world! I think it is not given the importance it deserves since I work in Portugal and my country is very "weak" in the scientific field!😲😲
Realizar taxidermia es algo que no es nada facil y requiere de mucha tecnica y años de experiencia, tuve un dia el privilegio de realizar taxidermia a unas aves en la escuela experimental de ciencias en Venezuela y por experiencia es algo muy dificil pero Günther hacia parecer que este trabajo era algo muy facil, y era capaz de crear las mejores preservaciones del mundo! creo que no se le da la importancia que merece ya que trabajo en Portugal y mi pais es muy "debil" en el tema cientifico!🕵️♂️👨🏫
In total to date there are 41166 species of animals and plants registered in the museum! we can find everything from insects to an interesting collection of rocks, since the museum also puts a lot of emphasis on learning about the ecology of the island! Madeira is an "independent" island of Portugal whose location places it among a "tropical island" this makes it present a unique biodiversity in Europe!😱😱
En total hasta la fecha hay registrada 41166 especies de animales y plantas en el museo! podemos encontrar desde insectos hasta una coleccion interesante de rocas, ya que el museo tambien hace mucho enfasis en aprender sobre la ecologia de la isla! Madeira es una isla "independiente" de Portugal cuya ubicacion la situa entre una "isla tropical" esto hace que presente una biodiversidad unica en europa!👨🏫🧠
As an artist, Günther left a collection of scientific works that he designed himself, and which are exhibited in the museum. I really liked seeing his paintings, he classified each species of bird before doing the taxidermy! A Biologist does not graduate with the ability to do preservation work! and Günther, in addition to doing taxidermy, also had a job in taxonomy, making him a complete scientist!🤩😱
Como todo un artista Günther dejo una coleccion de trabajos cientificos que el mismo diseñaba, y que se exhiben en el museo me gusto mucho ver sus pinturas, el clasificaba cada especie de ave antes de realizar la taxidermia! un Biologo no se gradua con la capacidad de hacer el trabajo de preservacion! y Günther ademas de realizar la taxidermia tambien ocupaba un trabajo de taxonomia haciendolo un cientifico completo!👨🎓👨🎓
Mineral collection👨🏫🧠/ Coleccion de minerales 🕋
This is a work of collecting rocks that can be found on the island, Madeira has another small group of islands attached and since many islands are of volcanic origin, then we can find a sample of lava and what is known as a "volcanic bomb". "Which is those lava stones that are thrown into the air! here you can see how they look after cooling and fossilizing! I got excited when I saw this because I never in my life witnessed an erupting volcano👨🏫👨🎓
Este es un trabajo de coleccion de rocas que pueden ser encontrados en la isla, Madeira tiene adjunto otro pequeño conjunto de islas y que como muchas islas son de origen volcanicas, entonces podemos encontrarnos una muestra de lava y lo que se conoce como "bomba volcanica" que es aquellas piedras de lava que son lanzadas al aire! aqui puedes ver como lucen luego de enfriarse y fosilizarse! yo me excite cuando vi esto porque nunca en mi vida presencie un volcan en erupcion🌋🌋
Tropical species👨🏫🧠/ Especies tropicales 🕋
There is nothing more interesting on the planet than a tropical climate! here we can find the most extraordinary species of plants and animals, madeira may not be a "brazil" but it has many mysterious things that you do not find in the rest of europe! 3 thousand species of insects are unique to the island! and it is something interesting that we find in isolated climates! I mean, 20% of the island's insects cannot be found anywhere else on the planet!🚩😱👨💻
No hay nada mas interesante en el planeta que un clima tropical! aqui podemos encontrarnos las especies de plantas y animales mas extraordinarias, madeira no podra ser una "brasil" pero tiene muchas cosas misteriosas que no encuentras en el resto de europa! 3mil especies de insectos son unicos de la isla! y es algo interesante que encontramos en climas aislados! osea el 20% de insectos de la isla no se encuentran en otro lado del planeta!🐛🦟🦗🐜🦋
Impeccable work by Günther👨🏫🧠/ Trabajos impecables de Günther 🕋
Here we see some of Günther's early works and as you can see they are very well preserved! but this is not his specialty! hope you see the fish and the birds!🤔🤔
Aqui vemos algunos de los primeros trabajos de Günther y como ves estan muy bien conservados! pero esta no es la especialidad de el! espera que veas los peces y las aves!😮😮
Ichthyologist👨🏫🧠/ Ictiologista 🕋
If you wonder what ichthyologist means, let's say they are those scientists who specialize in studying fish!😎😍
Si te preguntas que significa ictiologista digamos que son aquellos cientificos que se especializan en estudiar los peces!🐟🐠🦈
Amazing, right? here there is no replica of anything! everything is original!😍
Increible no? aqui no hay replica de nada!! todo es original!💯

my love for the museum👨🏫🧠/ Mi amor por el museo🕋
For me, the education of our children is reinforced here! the day we decided to take it to museums and teach them about nature that day we will form people capable of loving the planet and preserving our fauna and flora! and in the long run we save our planet! That's why museums deserve a space on HIVE!😲😲
Para mi la educacion a nuestros hijos se refuerza aqui! el dia que decidimos llevarlo a los museos y enseñarles sobre la naturaleza ese dia formaremos personas capaces de amar el planeta y preservar nuestra fauna y flora! y a largo plazo salvamos a nuestro planeta! por eso los museos merecen un espacion HIVE!🕵️♂️👨🏫

BEER.Great post! Museums are very interesting, but unfortunately not for everyone. Only for people who are interested. I remember from childhood, our class at school was taken on an excursion to museums, and no one was interested. And only now, at a conscious age, I became interested in animals.

Dear @oscurity, we need your help!
The Hivebuzz proposal already got an important support from the community. However, it lost its funding few days ago and only needs a few more HP to get funded again.
May we ask you to support it so our team can continue its work this year?
You can do it on Peakd, ecency, Hive.blog or using HiveSigner.
