Robert Scheck (Hannover): The Cook/Forster collection
Talk given at the international symposium "Johann Friedrich Blumenbach and the Culture of Science in Europe around 1800" in Göttingen, April 23rd/24th 2015.

Robert Scheck talks about the acquisition of natural and ethnological objects from the Pacific for the former Academic Museum at Göttingen University on the initiative of Johann Friedrich Blumenbach (1752-1840). The objects were brought back to Europe by James Cook (1728-1779) from his voyages around the world. Many of them were acquired from the estate of Johann Reinhold Forster (1729-1798), who had taken part in Cook's second voyage (1772-1775).
