The tower of Naturalis in the Dutch province of Leiden is like something sprung from the mind of Terry Gilliam: twenty stories of shelves lined with preserved animals, insects, and fossils. Row upon row of jars containing discomfiting specimens. The tower houses the largest collection of natural history objects in Holland, and it’s sealed from the public — unless you’re Ruben van Leer, and you want to film the music video for the latest Yeasayer single, “Glass of the Microscope.” In which case you get the whole place to yourself.
