We took a tour of the archives in class one day and I got to meet a guy who had appeared on Shark Week on the Discovery Channel. I also got to see a lot of poached pelts--ever wonder what they do with all the stuff they confiscate at the border and at airports? :) To be able to access the archives at the Field is excellent.

I love the architecture there and I normally love museums. But not dead things. I can see why Felix would love the bird collection. I'm in heaven at the needlework section of the V&A in London. But not dead things. Brilliant that Daisy knows about humans and mammals.Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10239488936038510294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16182378.post-67709421742667427482010-03-26T05:15:46.029-05:002010-03-26T05:15:46.029-05:00Well, the dead birds are a little disturbing but a...Well, the dead birds are a little disturbing but after our trip to the British Museum with the preserved "tar man" they seem minor in comparison.

I was always so thankful at how, while in graduate school, making plans ahead and just *asking* could open doors for me. I don't think I would have been able to finish my thesis without the generous help I got from simply saying a prayer and taking a chance that people would let me in. This post absolutely delighted me!<br /><br />I'm so pleased that Felix was able to get this time with the all of the specimen and able to photograph and draw the birds. How wonderful! As always, you inspire me! I'm glad you all had a safe trip. Daisy's comment was absolutely precious!<br /><br />Your Friend in Christ,<br />DawnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16182378.post-74547333489120128942010-03-26T02:05:04.626-05:002010-03-26T02:05:04.626-05:00Yes museums have changed beyond all recognition.

With the same reservations about the slightly grim displays, I am also grateful that our local museum has preserved some of the old fashioned mahogany cabinets and dioramas.Lucillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14414527658216916537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16182378.post-25890594692600236822010-03-25T23:17:06.822-05:002010-03-25T23:17:06.822-05:00Sounds like a fascinating and fun trip for all!
