The Secret Life of the Natural History Museum. Behind the public façade
of any great museum there lies a secret domain. One of unseen galleries, locked
doors, priceless specimens and hidden lives.
Richard Fortey, former senior paleaontologist celebrates the pioneering work
of the Museum from its inception to the present day. He delves into the feuds,
affairs, scandals and skulduggery that have punctuated the Museum`s long history,
and formed a backdrop to extraordinary scientific endeavour.
A fascinating and affectionate account of a hidden world of untold treasures.
