A museum was a given for the founders of the Zoological Society Natura Artis Magistra. They wanted to do research and in this way transfer knowledge about nature. They started collecting dead animals in 1838 and soon also living animals. The living animals were given their enclosures in the ever-expanding park, while a small building was built for the dead animals. This collection grew and within a few years this forerunner of the Groote Museum proved to be too small.
