    Amazingly, the ground floor of Natural History Museum is largely unchanged from how it was when I was a kid. The taxidermy is as old school as can be, crossing the line well into tacky and looking scary good at the same time. But even better are the backgrounds. If I ever get a '70s van, I'd want the NHM staff to paint the sides of it. If I ever form a metal band, I'd ask them to paint my album cover, too.


    Needless to say, Eloise was blown away as well.

    If you ever get to Tucson, AZ check out the Wild LIfe Museum there. It's kinda on the outskirts of town on the road you'd take to get to Old Tucson. I remember begging my parents to stop when i was a kid (the building looks like a small castle) but they wouldn't. As an adult my husband and I went (turns out his parents did the same thing :P). It was waaaay cool. Room after room of taxidermy from all over the world. One room looked like a large den with a fireplace. Giant elephant head on the back wall. Somewhere, there's a pic of my husband feeding our then infant girl-child to a taxidemy alligator. =D
