    A delightful museum with extremely well presented information, brilliantly recreated habitat scenes, using both stuffed animals and exquisite models and an interesting library. Any library giving visitors access to natural history-related books, including the rare History of British Butterflies by the Reverend F G Morris, 1904, is fine by me. To have such close views of the plumage of so many birds with a room full of excellently preserved stuffed birds, is a privilege. Sad though they are, of course one would have loved for the beautiful birds not to have been hunted, they are fabulous and most European bird species are in superb condition. Just sit on the floor and be next to the Great Bustard for instance. Look closely at the intricacy of its plumage. Wonderful, friendly staff made my visit complete and I thoroughly recommend the museum if you have even the slightest interest in the nature of Cantabria.
