I spent a whole day on Friday wandering though the
Natural History Museum. This is an old-school museum;
specimen upon specimen in row after row of cabinets in salon after salon. I know that modern curatorship is about the experience and narrative, but there's no substitute for quantity.
Check out the gallery!The absolute highlight of the collection is the
Venus of Willendorf:![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKmGUV9TEA5hD1kdNI9ixSNTngxQtwhhvAxSmmtRpzxIxge62_OB0llX7chJrxZVaQfL9S6RmxBe92bEgt31tD2olvM5BNtAUqoJ59FnavAaWF-0IsE84xdnJQNcl4IHK8UcDPbqoRIx0/s320/aP300508_10.20.jpg)

As far as I know, it's the oldest statue in the world...
