Grant Museum of Zoology

Seems stupid that I'd never been to the Grant Museum of Zoology (at UCL down by Euston) until monday. It reminded me a lot of the Pitt Rivers Museum in Oxford, but with a purely zoological focus. The collection was established in 1828 and has a stunning array of skeletons and jar-preserved animal specimens, including an intact Tasmanian Tiger skeleton, a jar of moles and a human or two. I sketched some skeletons.

I noticed that my girlfriend's pet sugar glider Mooham rather resembled the overweight goldfish in the family pond, which I brought to her attention through this clumsy doodle.


P.S. 'Mooham' means simply 'ham'.
