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 the word 'unlucky'. Discover how four distinct objects represent the unexpected side of natural history.
The Natural History Museum in London houses an immense collection of over 80 million objects, ranging from dinosaur bones and meteorites to a giant squid. In this thirteenth episode, the presenters use a single prompt—'unlucky'—to select four specific specimens from this massive archive.
The series investigates the qualities that make a museum object noteworthy, questioning whether a specimen can be considered perfect based on its reliability, its texture, or its exuberance.
