Descrição: Choudhury talks about the different specimens displayed in Grant Museum. One might think that a museum displaying 2,000 new exhibits would need to build a whole extra wing. But the latest additions to London's Grant Museum of Zoology all fit into a space the size of a large wardrobe: they are vintage glass microscope slides, bearing specimens taken from everything from fleas to whales. The museum's Micrarium gallery was converted from an office, creating a space just large enough to hold one or two visitors at a time. The slides line the brilliantly backlit walls, showcasing their endless delicate forms and jewel-like colors, which usually come from the stains used in their preparation. The effect is individually fascinating and collectively dazzling-like being inside a Gustav Klimt painting.
