The Unrivalled Collection - The Hunterian's first catalogue

Hi all,

there's just enough time to catch the fab exhibition at the Hunterian Art Gallery, University of Glasgow - 'The Unrivalled Collection' - which is based on the first catalogue of the collections, composed by Capt John Laskey in 1813. The exhibition closes on 11th August...and there are some wonderful things to see...we could even revive the 'daft taxidermy' thread, that used to run on this blog a few years ago!
Here's a link to the exhibition:

Kim Sloan, of the British Museum, visited the exhibition a few months ago and sent this fab image of the strange world of things to see at the Hunterian!
