Vienna's creepy natural history museum exhibits in photos

Yesterday, several of the speakers at the Roboxotica conference took a tour of Vienna's Naturhistorisches Museum, an imperial wedding-cake of a natural history museum, whose ancient taxidermied animals spill from their glass cases in great profusion, all stitches and tufted fur. Along on the trip was Jake Appelbaum, a great photographer whose work has appeared here on Boing Boing many times before. Jake was ecstatic that there was no one around to enforce the museum's no-photos rule, and he went crazy with his cameras. He's uploaded the photos to Flickr and tagged them for convenient retrieval. These are amazing shots and they really capture the musty, Indiana Jones feeling of the museum. Link (Thanks, Jake!)
