Our collections include wonderful artwork by local and indigenous artists whose roles need to be recognised and celebrated. Here, John Tyley from Antigua illustrating plants from Saint-Vincent c.1800. #ArchiveInclusion #Archive30 #decolonisingmuseums https://t.co/IgTWwM6o6g

Mark Spencer @fungi_flowers, Botany Curator: W. Keble Martin's Concise British Flora. It’s a beautifully illustrated and accessible work that helped me learn my first wild plant names and get into the world of botany. #worldbookday #learnaboutlinnsoc 3/

Happy St David's Day! Here is a lovely illustration of N. pseudo-narcissus taken from F.W. Burbidge's The Narcissus: it's history and culture (1875) #daffodils #stdavidsday

For #Halloween , we found this spooky image taken from Aldrovandi's Serpentum, et draconum historiæ (1640), in which he doubts the legitimacy of this creature! We now know it to be a Jenny Haniver, the manipulation of a Ray specimen to look more human-like.

This gorgeous screenshot is from a @LinneanLearning video! They have produced a variety of beautiful videos which explore the fascinating world of Carl Linnaeus, taxonomy and whole organism biology - all with strong curriculum links. #BiologyWeek https://t.co/Yh9ccXvUvT
