When people look at the specimens, they see the museum and the open galleries. Do you think they really think about all the work that goes on behind the scenes? Well, some will and some won' t. And it isn' t a catastrophe if you come through this museum and you don' t realise what work is done at the back, if you have been to very important place and seen some remarkable things and discovered something about the glory and fascination of the natural world. But you get more if you begin to realise that this is where so much of this work goes on. Towards the end of last year, the museum announced the opening of a new wing. A 78 million pound extension of exhibition space and laboratories. But I can' t help wondering, how much of the work that goes on in these 21st century ivory towers will ever mean anything out there in the real world. |
