The Natural History Museum was my destination today. I walked part of the way there to get some exercise and then explored inside. An interesting old building with a constantly changing pattern of lighting which was atmospheric I suppose, but the lighting levels were so low in general that it was very hard to see smaller exhibits like beetles and shells inside their cases. Maybe it's a preservation issue, but wandering round in the dark makes for a gloomy visit. I noticed a lot of bored small children which was a shame, but understandable. It took some effort to go up to cases and peer in to see the contents. Just as I was preparing to go there was a 'thunderstorm' with flashing lights and rolls of thunder and a heavy rain soundtrack. The silly selfies are for the grandchildren!
I walked all the way home! About 1.5 miles.
