Yesterday I stoped by the Cole Zoology Museum and it was a rare delight! It had botflies on display which will always charm me! Lots of exhibits & text 🧵

Cole Zoology Museum Jack Ashby Many specimens on display at the Cole Zoology Museum are of important Zoological interest highlighting both the internal (cats paws, chameleon eggs) and external (mouse, elephant - albeit foetus) structures of animals

We loved having you visit. The model was purchased from Rebor and was initially displayed without a label for the mischief of watching visitor reactions! #evilcurator @ACallaZoo
