Friday the 18th of February - Natural History Museum: Spirit Tour and Images of Nature Exhbition!



Hello everybody-

Just reposting an email from Scott regarding Friday's visit so y'all don't miss a really lovely opportunity to go on this really great tour.

The Spirit tour is a chance to "Get a fascinating glimpse of the building's 27 kilometres of shelves and some of the 22 million specimens we look after, including hidden treasures such as the giant squid and specimens collected by Charles Darwin." 

Due to health and Safety reasons the tour can only allow 8 people at a time but Scott has managed to bag us TWO time slots, email us at culture_club@hotmail.co.uk to reserve a place. It's on a first come first served basis- if you do reserve a slot but then decide not to come please let us know so we can let someone else know there's a space available.

The tours are a half hour long, while one group is in the other group will be exploring the Images of Nature exhibition that is also on (I hear tell that there's a bit of a kinky exhibish regarding the birds and bees on  too that looks pretty interesting nudge nudge wink wink haha)

We'll be meeting at 2:15 at the back of the central hall (behind the giant dinosaur) on Friday the 18th of February. Please try to be punctual as the staff won't wait to start the tour (incidentally then I wouldn't entirely recommend getting the 345 from Camberwell as any time I've needed to be somewhere on time it's trundled along like a sleepy little snail).

It'd also be useful to bring along some drawing materials it sounds as if there'll be some great opportunities for some sketching along the way- I'll check and see whether photography is allowed in the museum too.

See you there!

Lots of love
