Mid September and the Beagle Project directors travelled to London to meet a potential partner. We were given a behind the scenes look at the spirit room in the new Natural History Museum's Darwin Centre. Here are some pics: they are free to use in a not for profit science education context, in the promotion of the Beagle Project or Darwin 200 events. Please credit The Beagle Project and provide a link to our site and blog.
More specimen pics and links to larger files to come. |
