Museum of Zoology

I had the fabulous opportunity through my Creative Writing class to tour the Grant Museum of Zoology privately before its opening for the day. We had the exhibits to ourself in the quiet and chilling room that makes up the museum. It is filled with taxidermy, skeletons, severed animal heads, organisms on slides, and skulls for days. This place blew every museum I have been to out of the water. Words can't even express how wonderful my experience was in the short amount of time I spent there. It is a hidden wonder in London.

My favorite vine of the entire trip.


Just breathtaking

Elephant skull

The preserved jellyfish were amazing to see for a jellyfish lover like myself.

Shameless mirror pictures



Yes. These ARE severed heads!

Elephant heart
