The Sanctuary Nature Foundation
and the Bombay Natural History
Society (BNHS) have come
together to work on a unique
project that presents natural
history in a way that tries to
capture its intricate and
detailed beauty through the
art of photography.We call it ‘INSECTDOM’.BNHS’ incredible and diverse
natural history museum is an
inexhaustible repository of
specimens, some of which are
over a hundred years old. It is
humbling to be surrounded by
incredible specimens, each of them
having played a role in adding to
our knowledge of natural history,
leading us a step further in
understanding the intricate design
of Nature.Spellbinding collection of insects,
arachnids, birds, reptiles, mammals
that represent our wild natural
heritage, collected and deposited
by explorers and researchers since
the time of the British Raj are
housed here.
