I made a visit to World Museum Liverpool last week and met the Entomology Curator.
It’s an astonishing place, row upon row upon row of lepidoptera cabinets, each with multiple drawers in. Beautiful.
I could have spent all day there, they left me alone there to take photographs (ohh sooo many photographs) but unfortunately due to an untimely attack of Sciatica I was left having to try and stand up without letting the whole department know my back had gone then casually hobble out of the building a bit earlier than I would have liked.
However, it did give me a good sense of the amount of work and commitment that has gone on to have such an amazing collection. It’s also made me more excited to get going now.
Still waiting to hear back from local schools, you’d think with an email entitled ‘New Ferry Butterfly Park FREE ART WORKSHOPS’ that I might get some response wouldn’t you?
