Interesting exhibition at the British Library ‘Unearthed: the power of gardening’. Lots of items: books (old and new), manuscripts, ephemera and objects. Some familiar items and people connected to the collections at the NHM and lots of interesting things to learn.

Made my own insect house - rather chuffed! It started life as half a wooden wine box.

I'm not the first to give this advice, but it bears repeating for the benefit of any parents/guardians planning to make or buy a costume for tomorrow. If the #WorldBookDay costume you’re planning  to make or buy for your child costs more than the  price of a book,  buy them a BOOK instead. #KidLitUK

We're quite fond of books here at the NHM Library and Archives, and we suspect these owls from John Gould's Birds of Great Britain know just how we feel. #WBD25 #WorldBookDay #NaturalHistoryMuseum #BookSky #BlueSkyBooks #Birds #Owls #Ornithology

Exciting news! We’re thrilled to announce that tapir Yuna gave birth to a rare and endangered Malayan tapir calf Sunday night. The newborn, covered in distinctive white spots and stripes resembling a fuzzy walking watermelon, is only the second tapir born in our 120-year history.
