I just had the delight to revisit the astounding, fabulous, unrivaled
Pitt Rivers Museum with
Eleanor Crook a few days ago. What can one say? This might very well be the best museum in the world, at least in terms of installation. It also presents an alluring vision of what
The Wellcome Collection--with its equally broad and astounding collection of once one million (!!!) and now a still very respectable 100,000 objects--might have been in an alternative universe.
All images are my own; click to see larger images and you can see more by clicking

Oxford Museum of Natural History that one must walk through to reach the Pitt Rivers. You can find out more about the Pitt Rivers Museum by clicking

Brilliant, brilliant photos...they really whet my appetite for the museum, one day I shall go there and swallow it whole.
Do you use an analogue camera? If so, which one? I love the colouring of the photos.
Thanks so much, but no. its a new digital camera but shot in raw and with care taken over the processing! The Lumix GF1! : )
