About this audio guide
This guide to Museum De Oude Aarde in Giethoorn starts at a glass case holding the egg of Madagascar's elephant bird, the flightless giant Dutch guidebooks call the mammoth ostrich, and asks a cook's question about it. It also follows René Boissevain, the travelling adventurer who opened the village's oldest museum in nineteen sixty-nine with agates he collected himself. Stand by the egg case to start.
