From Oxford Museum.

Nice to see these pieces of history which have changed our vision of the world.

I think that's me in the glass reflection.  Nice to see these have survived and are well cared for. The Natural History Museum at Oxford was closed for a year but opened again last Summer.. They have put in a new glass roof and changed some of the displays. Apparently with the new glass roof, it got very tropical in the main hall in the hot days of the summer. Sadly Darwin 's Net and his cork box are not now I believe on display.
