The story of Froggyland begins in the early twentieth century, between
1910 and 1920, when
Ferenc Mere, a Hungarian taxidermist, embarked on a peculiar artistic project. Mere developed an innovative method of preserving animals without making incisions, which allowed him to maintain the frogs’ natural appearance. Using this technique, he created a collection of about a thousand frogs, skillfully arranging them in handcrafted scenes inspired by human behavior. Over time, only half of these creations survived in perfect condition, and those that did now form the core of Froggyland’s remarkable exhibition.
