The Natural History Museum
Our newest contributor, the Natural History Museum, is home to life and earth science specimens comprising some 70 million items within five main collections: Botany, Entomology, Mineralogy, Palaeontology and Zoology. The museum is a world-renowned centre of research, specialising in taxonomy, identification and conservation. Given the age of the institution, many of the collections have great historical as well as scientific value, such as specimens collected by Darwin. See our new collection.
Mini Monsters iPad App
Mini Monsters is a photographic and educational exploration of the wonderful microscopic world of insects, bugs, spiders, beetles, worms and countless other creepy crawlies. You'll see the compound eye of the common housefly; check out the hairs on a leg of a tarantula; gasp at the stinger on a bee or shiver at the sight of a mosquito proboscis. Moreover, if you have a particular curiosity to settle, you can use the filtering options to zero in on your favourite or most shocking Mini Monster. Available from the iTunes App Store.
