The next few photo’s im gonig to post myself (not reblogged) were taken at the National Museum of Wales (in Cardiff).

there are some photos that are taken of specimens, which have previously been on display and no longer are, as they were borrowed from a german museum (the specimens from the Solnhofen Limestone, exceptionally preserved fauna).

these include a dragonfly, an Archaeopteryx (one of only 11 in the world), and various other creatures. keep your eyes on my page when they upload - there are some crakcing ones :)
