Great photos from the Smithsonian natural history museum, Washington DC

I couldn't love this slideshow of Washington DC's Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History - from the excellent Curious Expeditions blog - any more.

Lest any agents are in any doubt, there really are people who are inspired to travel by this kind of thing. I'm one.

Below are two far smaller London museums with a similar vibe: first Grant Zoology Museum,  a tiny teaching collection (open to the public) at UCL; and below that the Horniman Museum, where - disclosure! - my brother works.

If you're in or travelling to London and have done our marvellous Natural History Museum, try these two out...

Perhaps the UK should make more of it's excellent (and often free) museums in the push for inbound tourists in 2009. With the currency as is, this is a golden opportunity to support the economy with inbound tourists.
