We went to a museum in Ronda called “Museo de Caza” which translates to the Hunting Museum. We thought it looked interesting so we went to see it. Once we entered inside the museum we were greeted with a large stuffed grizzly bear.

We paid our two euros each and began exploring the different rooms which displayed an enormous amount of stuffed animals.

As we walked through the museum we came across more and more stuffed animals. There were animals from all over the world and displayed beside the animals were plaques identifying their origin and where they were killed.

We came across tigers and lions in one of the rooms and an alligator in another room.

The animals on displays were all over the walls and there was very little free space in the Museum. It was a bit unsettling being in the rooms with so many dead animals displayed as trophies. There were some areas where we needed to watch our heads in order not to bump into an animal on display.

Walking through the different rooms we came across animals from all different areas of the world. We came across monkeys, gazelles and wild boars from Africa.

There were water buffalo and other African animals, some which I have never seen before.

There was a pair of  Elephant tusk that was on display which was enormous. The plaque indicated that the tusk were obtained prior to the ban on ivory.

We even saw animals that were from North America and Canada in particular.

There were walls full of mounted skulls with horns displayed from all over the world.

They had every imaginable type of animal displayed including waterfowl, groundhogs, and birds.

The museum was full of animals from around the world. It was hard to imagine that such a collection of animals were on display in the small mountaintop town of Ronda Spain.
