       It's November, which is the month of #Museum30.Day 1 - #Museum.I'm working in the #herbarium at the #NaturalHistoryMuseum in #London. The #NHMLondon was split off the #BritishMuseum in 1881, which itself was born out of Hans #Sloane's (1660-1753) collections of plants, animals, coins, manuscripts, books, antiquities etc.The natural history collections have a long and complex history. Almost 2 years ago, I wrote a short piece on the history of the NHM #herbaria: https://issuu.com/thevasculum/docs/vasculum_16.1/s/11551043
