The Natural History Museum

The Natural History Museum on Exhibition Road is one of our favourite places to visit for an hour, and it is FREE. Sadly most of the Victorian specimen collections are not on view, I wanted to show Erbie trays of beetles. He was content to look at all the stuffed birds and the mammal room has reopened with its life-sized model animal collection, which involved lots of pointing and naming. Erbie will say rhinosaurus but not elephant - go figure?

Plus of course, duck.

and now, Dodo.


and giraffe and whale,

and dinosaur.

(Good dinosaurs in the shop).

Other nonsense
