Dioramas at the Bell

Featuring realistic foregrounds and painted mural backdrops, the Bell Museum’s world-renowned wildlife dioramas uniquely allow visitors to imagine themselves in various natural settings. With their depictions of actual places and real plants and animals, the dioramas have introduced generations of Minnesotans to the variety of natural habitats in our state.
