North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences: Nature’s Explorers
 Fish Specimens in Jars |
I have a morbid fascination with animals preserved in jars, and that’s what drew me into the Natures Explorers exhibit; however, it was not the Cabinet of Curiosities I expected to find. Instead, I met with an exhibit about the lives of those who assemble such cabinets and the history behind the practice of Naturalism.
Check out the complete flickr set here.
I also appreciated the wood shots … After spending 3 months standing and staining a few hundred square feet of newly-constructed wood, I have a renewed appreciation for wood-related details that would have previously be considered minutia.

I thought the Orsonwelles ventus was a spider? You may want to check your captions.
