The Natural History Museum

I has always loved this statue of Charles Darwin. Seeing him in context here in the Natural History Museum, we realize that this is an monument to his contributions. Those Victorians...they really knew how to built a shrine.

A trip to the Natural History Museum in South Kensington is always a treat. This time we went, as we try to do each year, to see the Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition. It is always a treat to see this collection of excellent images. Of course, photos of that exhibit are not allowed, but you can see the winners online. At the exhibit there are many more, some of which, I think, are the better images. In the eye of the beholder, eh?

But the parts I can photograph form their own kind of art. I have always found the building itself to be designed very much like a cathedral. From the front door, shown above, to chapel like alcoves off the main entrance hall.
