Did you know the @natural_history_museum was once part of the British Museum? Natural history specimens were displayed at the British Museum for over 120 years until 1881, when it was decided that a new museum was needed. The zoological collection took 394 trips by horse and cart over 97 days to move across to South Kensington!

The natural history collections included everything from molluscs and minerals to preserved birds and skeletons of extinct animals. This photo from 1875 shows a large shark with an attendant sitting nearby, who was presumably included to show the scale of the fish! ?
