Could a single word define the perfect museum specimen?
In this episode of The 'Perfect' Specimen, hosts Josh and Natalie explore four objects from the Natural History Museum's vast collection, all unified by the theme of being 'wild'.
The Natural History Museum in London houses over 80 million objects, ranging from dinosaur bones and meteorites to a giant squid. In this episode, the presenters evaluate various specimens to determine which represents the 'perfect' example. They weigh up the merits of diverse items, such as miniature elephants and giant swans, while investigating the reliability and physical properties of the collection's most exuberant or squishy pieces.
