Taxidermy and Textures

A very inspiring day at Oxford Museum of Natural History looking at perfectly poised skeleton specimens, mineralogy and various displays of beautiful insects.

When I walk around a museum I can only wonder how exciting it must have been to be the curator; getting a close look at the specimens, deciding which displays go together and how to overall museum will flow.

My favourite photos of the day:
