Ever wondered how European museums got their hands on natural history treasures from the Middle East in the 1850s? Join us for a lecture by Dr. Semih Çelik, a historian from the University of Exeter, as he unravels the story of how minerals, fossils, stuffed animals, dried plants, seeds, and other natural history specimens journeyed from the Ottoman Empire to Europe. You will discover the story of Major General George Elliot’s collection in RAMM and travel back in time to the eastern Mediterranean and Black Sea and have a chance to see rarely exhibited objects from RAMM’s natural history collection.
