BoingBoing wants YOU to visit your local natural history and science museum and send them pictures of your favorite exhibits. What do they mean to you? Are there hidden treasures of nature and science that the world needs to see?
GO!
So here’s my challenge to you: Visit your local science and natural history museums, photograph your favorite exhibit, and send me the pictures—along with any nifty information you picked up from reading the labels and signs. I’m at maggie.koerth@gmail.com. What beloved specimen do you want the world to know about?
This!!
Everyone should do this! Firstly, it’ll be hella fun. Secondly, it’ll help improve museums (they need feedback to improve!). Thirdly, it could help improve them toward the kind of stuff that you like.
Maybe I’ll send those ammonite-scaphite photos from yesterday? Or maybe some of the photos of them I took myself! Actually, this could take a while to decide! Unsurprisingly, I have quite a few photos of awesome exhibits from my travels and work in museums. (Someone remind me to post more of my photos!)
