Life-size soil profiles of real soils

[Gleya]

The most interesting thing that can be seen in the soil museum is the life-size soil profiles of real soils. To make such an expanent, soil scientists go to the field, dig a soil cross-section, find the most interesting sample of the soil profile and put it in a huge box with a lid. Then, the soil monolith is treated with special chemicals so that the soil is preserved as best as possible and that the exhibit looks representative. What is the most interesting for you in natural science museums?
