Can a single word define the perfect museum specimen?
In this episode of The 'Perfect' Specimen, hosts Josh and Natalie explore the Natural History Museum's vast collection through the lens of a single prompt: 'colourful'. Discover how they select specimens that range from the exuberant to the noxious.
The Natural History Museum in London houses an immense archive of over 80 million objects, including dinosaur bones, meteorites, and a giant squid. In this installment, the presenters use the theme of colour to navigate this massive collection.
The search for the 'perfect' specimen involves evaluating diverse items based on specific qualities. The episode examines four different specimens to determine which might be considered the most squishy, the most exuberant, or even the most noxious.
