At the Wiels Contemporary Art Centre in Brussels Petrit Halilaj had in 2013 a one person exhibition 'Poisoned by men in need of some love'. The 80-parts 'Special Edition (ex-Natural History Museum of Kosovo)' accompanying the catalogue consists of 80 old archival images from the ex-Natural History Museum of Kosovo. A museum that was terminated and dismounted right after the war in Kosovo (28.02.1998–10.06.1999) to give space to an ethnological Museum of Albanian Culture. All the animals and objects were moved out, thrown away or stored inside a cellar until the artist got the permission to open the doors and check their conditions, which appeared to be extremely devastating.
These images, together with others also found in the Museum's archive, are the only testimony of the original status of the display and the taxidermied animals while it was still a Museum of Natural History.
