Natural History Museum

As a biologist how can you walk past the Natural History Museum and NOT go in?
Impossible.

 

The building itself is a cathedral to Mother Earth.  

Beautiful carvings which always make me smile.

Darwin, a hero of mine.

Not forgetting Wallace - who ALSO came up with the theory of evolution, possibly before Darwin.
But allowed Darwin to publish and take the credit (and the flak)

When I came here with Richard in 2009 he spent hours in this room and we looked at every single rock.
He was fascinated.
Must say I am too. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You can’t beat the beauty and colour schemes of Mother Earth can you?

 

 

And looking out…. rather Venetian don’t you think?
