About Museu Natural Entomológico Ornith Bollmann
The Museu Natural Entomológico Ornith Bollmann is in Oxford, São Bento do Sul, and was created in 2011. Its name honors a São Bento do Sul native who dedicated himself to the study of insects and traveled to study butterflies. The collection includes specimens gathered mainly since the early 1960s, preserving the link between personal research and natural history.
Observe the butterfly sets and consult the specimen identifications to understand differences in form and distribution. The collection requires careful conservation, so the visit follows the team's guidelines and does not involve handling pieces. As Oxford is a sector separate from the center, schedule that transfer with its own time. Educational services and group visits should be arranged in advance with the institution.
