A Museum Filled With Microscopic Animals!!! Have A Look

It is said that more than 95 percent of the animal variety is tinier than your thumb. The huge majority of the creatures that are exhibited in museums across the world are vertebrates. Skeletons of dinosaurs, dioramas of the African savannah with lions, zebras and buffaloes, and taxidermied monkeys and birds are mostly displayed in these museums. Big animals are remarkable to look at, and their anatomy is simple to associate with that of our own, skeletons, eyes, and organs. But concentrating only on the invertebrates does not accurately imply the diversity of the animal kingdom.

Plenty of museums have thousands of zoological microscope slides of invertebrates but only have them on display, and those that prohibit only show a handful of them, usually fixed under a microscope that one has to glance into. The Grant Museum of Zoology at University College London attempts to fix this with their “Micrarium” committed to the smaller end of the scale.

There are over two thousand slides on exhibition in the Micrarium, lining the walls from floor to roof and lit from behind. It allows visitors to see detailed elements like the leg muscles of fleas and the cross section of a fly. Aside from whole animals, the Micrarium also emphasizes sections of bigger animals such as squid and microscope slides of whales, mammoths, and giraffes.

The whole collection accommodates snugly inside a walkable closet-like thing that formerly functioned as a storeroom. The roof is mirrored which gives the notion that the collection continues to infinity.
