There the Primates!

As you can see, there is an indentation in the display case in front of the gorilla, where a person can sit down. When you do sit down you see near your feet a light that says: Mensen, meaning People, but where are they? Is there a stuffed man or woman present? No, only monkeys, lemurs and apes are displayed. Man is missing. Why? That is because of King William the first. He has founded this museum in 1820. He was of the opinion that it is inappropriate to make taxidermy mounts of people in musea. We agree, so man is missing. You, as visitor, sitting near the light in the floor, make our collection complete: Homo sapiens Linnaeus, 1758. Thank you very much for your cooperation!
