Cole Museum: More Treasures

You might have noticed that there are a lot of photos from the Cole Museum turning up lately. I’m posting them now in a bunch because I wasn’t sure whether or not to talk about them on what was supposed to be a blog about sewing and other crafty pursuits.

But, I’m volunteering at the museum once a week, and each week I take my camera along and try to take a few snaps of whatever I’m working on. A couple of weeks ago we went into the store room of the larger specimens in the spirit collection, and here are a few of the highlights.

You can see all of my photos from the museum over on Flickr, if you’d like to. I’ve only posted small ones here in case people were squeamish. It turns out that skeletons seem to be mostly acceptable, but Things in Jars can make people feel a bit peculiar.

If you’d rather I didn’t post any pictures of Things In Jars at all, please let me know, and I can put them somewhere else – or at least make sure that the pictures are small, or behind a link so that you don’t have to look at them straight away.

I don’t want to put anybody off their dinner, but I’m finding looking at all these specimens absolutely fascinating, and I’d love to be able to share them.

  1. Well, you know I love things in jars… Miss you, and I might have sent you a little parcel, so if you get a surprise Amazon delivery, um, it is likely to be from me.
