Curatorial Assistant Kaylin Martin gives us a brief tour of one of the museum’s fascinating hidden collections, the Alcohol House— home to more than 200,000 reptile and amphibian specimens that are jarred and preserved in alcohol.
Ask a Scientist is a new short video series where we ask our research staff questions about the millions of amazing objects and specimens stored in our collection. Tune in on YouTube, and submit your own questions via Twitter @CarnegieMNH.
