Big-boned

The Natural History Museum of New York is old skool in the most amazing ways. And about the only cultural indulgence I could get mum to spend quality time in. Hand painted backdrops for rooms full of stuffed animals stolen and hunted for the sole purpose of being stuffed and propped up in front of a Monet-esque renderings of their natural habitat. AWESOME. They also had a live butterfly exhibit - these are the dead versions of their twittery animated friends.
