Synopsis

Welcome to the museum! There are more than 160 animal specimens to be
discovered in Animalium, the first in a series of virtual museums. Wander the
galleries - open 365 days a year - and discover a collection of curated exhibits on
every page, accompanied by informative text. Each chapter features a different
branch of the tree of life, from the simple sponge to the enormous elephant.
A rich , informative and truly wonderful cabinet of curiosities is beautifully displayed in this imaginative and covetous book.
Animalium (Welcome to the Museum) grants admittance to your very own private, virtual museum. 'Curator' Jenny Broom (who studied fine art at the Slade), has created a truly unique concept, whereby you can pore over each 'room' and 'exhibit' at your leisure. With fascinating facts and beautiful illustrations by Katie Scott, Animalium is a must for any child with a love for the animal kingdom.
A glorious book featuring page after page of extraordinary creatures. Fish, invertebrates, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals are exquisitely drawn complete with Latin names and fascinating facts. This is a book Charles Darwin would have treasured.
