Join us for a unique opportunity to explore how the huge Natural History Museum archive of preserved, mounted and taxidermy animals reveal secrets about the past that help us understand the future.
Showing images of the specimens never seen by the public, Richard Sabin, the Principal Curator of Mammals, will discuss the fascinating ways in which skeletons, provide crucial insights into evolutionary history and biological variation over time.
Specifically Richard will offer a behind-the-scenes look at the
museum's cetacean collection, which includes 6,000 specimens of
whales, dolphins, and porpoises. These, due to their enormous size
and irreplaceable nature, are housed at a secret location away from
the main museum building. As the custodian of this globally unique
collection, Richard will share his expertise on how these specimens
are preserved and studied, providing valuable insights into the
natural history and evolutionary changes of these remarkable marine
mammals.
