285-290For more than a decade, it has been a tradition at the Natuurhistorisch Museum Maastricht (NHMM; province of Limburg, the Netherlands; see Fig. 1) for the curators to work out concepts for new temporary exhibits, write all texts, select natural specimens to be put on display, and co-operate closely with technicians and designers. Half a year prior to the dismantling of “Biomimicry”, the theme of the next exhibit had already been fully established, and a “skeleton” of the displays and texts devised. On 25 June 2016, the exhibit HAAI (Dutch for shark) was opened (see: www.nhmmaastricht.nl/exposities/haai.html; www.facebook. com/NatuurhistorischMuseumMaastricht).
