In the museum you can see a brown bear from the Balkans, one of the largest ever recorded in this region. Its skull and worn teeth tell the story of a long life, likely marked by captivity.
The animal was shot in the early 1900s, when these species were considered dangerous to humans and harmful to livestock.
Today this plantigrade — a tactile piece that you can touch and experience up close — reminds you how much our relationship with nature has changed: from a species to be hunted down to a protected animal monitored through non-invasive techniques.
