The Museum of Entomology

From our Audiograph series:

In the basement of the life sciences building at the University of California, Berkeley, there’s a little known museum that’s home to millions of dried bugs.

It’s a research collection that’s growing — with new specimens filed away every day. So what happens in there and what’s it like?

Find more information about Berkeley's Essig Museum here.

This story originally aired in April 2016 as part of our Audiograph series, a radio project mapping the Bay Area’s sonic signature. Audiograph tells the story of where you live and the people who live there with you.
