Maybe the coolest exhibit at the natural history museum in Bern is the one about Saint-Bernard dogs, and more specifically, the Swiss icon Barry!

Barry is known for having saved 40 people as a rescue dog in the Swiss Alps between 1800 and 1812. He died in 1814 and his body was given to a taxidermist to preserve. The museum had him remounted in 1923, because he didn't really look like he did in life and the museum director thought the dog deserved better. This is what he looked like before:

They no longer needed to use the actual skull for the mount, so now it's on display! They also have a wolf skull (left) and a modern day Saint-Bernard skull (right) to show how much the breed has changed.

There is also a taxidermied modern day Saint-Bernard, a ten year old male that was donated to the museum after he died of natural causes:

Marc Nussbaumer has written the book "Barry vom Grossen St. Bernhard" about the process of restoring Barry, the history and development of the Saint-Bernard, and also the history of the region the breed comes from and their use as working dogs. It's only available in German, but it has a bunch of old art and pictures so it's also nice just to flip through it to look at those. I bought the book at the museum but it can be bought online, though the shipping can get very expensive 🥲

The museum has a taxidermy Borzoi! It's one of my favorite dog breeds and the mount was, once again, SO good. The facial expression is spot on
