The Owl That Fell from the Sky: Stories of a Museum Curator by Brian Gill

3.0

I have to admit that natural history specimens will never be my artefact of choice, and the frequent references to sport hunting exotic species was not particularly comfortable to me, but the book was actually pretty interesting. Perhaps not for the specimens themselves, but for the history behind them and the many ways an animal can end up in a museum collection. The book is quite short, which at first I thought was going to make it a little slight for my taste, but it turned out to be pretty satisfying in the end.
