Of the talk I gave at the museum a few months ago about Gideon Mantell. Enjoy! Centu...

And my archaeologist colleague sighs and says, "Yes, but what type of pottery? However, I think I'll leave the archaeology to the archaeolo...

In which I go on holiday to one of the most beautiful cities in the world, and come back with lots of pictures of birds. And butterflies, and lizards. All of them boring and common, too!

Museological Meanderings: Of Birds and Walruses
http://rachisaurus.blogspot.com/2011/06/of-birds-and-walruses.html
Hopefully) Exciting And Entertaining Excursions Into The World of Museums (And Natural History). Wednesday, 22 June 2011. Of Birds and Walruses. If you haven't been, you should. Instruments of torture (including an Inquisition-style torture chair that may or may not be genuine), and a wonderfully fat overstuffed walrus! Which was prepared by a taxidermist who had never seen a walrus and didn't know that it was supposed to have folds of skin. The thing is ENORMOUS! And they are big creatures to start with.
