Natural History Museum 2

15-02-2011
We went back for the second day to explore further and go on the spirit tour. As the name hints at it has many specimens preserved in alcohol including a giant squid and many of Darwin's first of type specimens collected on the Beagle voyage. The tour guide was excellent and very patient with the 4 airheads that also came along, their sole mission was to see and get a photo with Archie the giant squid. We also went to a talk about flightless birds which was quite interesting.
