Description
The journey on the Beagle was a journey of discovery for Charles Darwin, but what was it really like?
Join us for another episode of The 'Perfect' Specimen, this week Josh and Natalie are joined by curator Emma Bernard with three specimens all relating to the word 'Awkward'. Emma also shares their 'perfect' specimen and we discover what happened when a downcast Charles Darwin discovered a chunky rat.
Does the perfect museum specimen exist? What’s the squishiest? The most exuberant? Or even the most noxious?
Each episode, our hosts take their pick from 80 million specimens at the Natural History Museum to find the 'perfect' specimen. Their only prompt? A single word.
