About this audio guide
This guide to the Aquazoo Löbbecke Museum in Düsseldorf starts with a silent wooden thumb piano and a taxidermist named Horst Sieloff, who set out for Cameroon in the autumn of nineteen thirty-six. It follows the doctor and the butterfly-collecting artist who travelled with him, and the questions provenance researchers are asking about what came back. Shell collector Theodor Löbbecke, the museum's gentle founder, turns up too. Best heard near the aquariums at the start of the tour.
