Do not donate taxidermy heads of animals from your grandparent and great-grandparent’s hunting trip to the Natural History Museum. They unceremoniously line the entire ceiling of the employee’s only area upstairs and look creepy as hell. Nobody will ever want to see those heads ever again, even cyborg historians 300 years from now will not want to see them. Burn them. Anytime the employees are pissed off or are off that day, you can blame those heads.
I had a friend who worked here and got to see that Employees’ Only room, some balcony at the top of the building with a pretty view, rooms with lots of draws, and the ground level utility closet that we hooked up in. After we hooked up in that utility closet, we went to the special exhibition room. It wasn’t that special because I don’t remember it. But what was cool was to see the California room. I like earthquakes and seeing replicas of cities that are meant to be destroyed. And fault lines.
It’s cool to see antique bones and animals too. But the localized history has to be my favorite. Take the time to appreciate all the stuff that many of these fine people have taken a lot of time to curate and build.
