The Grand Tour

I can imagine people dressed in 18th and 19th century garb, on the Grand Tour, looking into these cases at the animals.

Young English elites of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries often spent two to four years traveling around Europe in an effort to broaden their horizons and learn about language, architecture, geography, and culture in an experience known as the Grand Tour. The Grand Tour began in the sixteenth century and gained popularity during the seventeenth century.
