The Natural History Museum, London is home to one of the world’s
most important collections of natural history specimens, literature
and artworks. This book showcases treasures, selected both from
objects on display and those stored behind the scenes. Each one is
chosen for its scientific importance, striking beauty or intriguing
story – and sometimes all three. Among the many exceptional
natural wonders featured are: a rare meteorite from Mars;
Darwin’s celebrated finch specimens; a lethal claw from the
dinosaur Baryonyx; one of the first forms of life on Earth; and
some immaculately dressed fleas. The book also includes many
architectural treasures from the magnificent Museum building
itself. With intriguing stories behind each entry, this is a
fascinating insight into the Museum’s unrivalled collections.
