Natural history museums hold innumerable misidentified specimens on their shelves. These specimens make their way into databases like GBIF, and muddy data that is used in global-scale analyses and other research drawing on such records. Careful verification of all specimens in a collection holding tens to hundreds of thousands of specimens would be a Herculean task that could take a dozen experts a decade. So, we often rely on spot checks.

Whilst searching our constrictor collection to see if we have any albino snakes (we don’t seem to), I came across this snake that had been identified as a Boa constrictor. It is in fact Malayopython reticulatus, a reticulated python. A quick new label and an update in our database, and I was able to move it over to the right shelf. Now it won’t muddy the waters further, and is able to be referred to by anyone interested in examining a retic.

How many more such cases are haunting our shelves of over 14 million objects? And that’s just the Natural History Museum of Denmark; there are billions of objects in similar collections globally. This is quite literally an astronomically huge problem.

giovanna d'arco

#[.art]#joan of arc #giovanna d'arco #knight #officially I can say that painting realistic faces is uhm. Not my forte nor is it my fun. Tried to make her realistically a 14 yo girl #Took me about uh. one or two hours I'd say? Maybe three #once again never ask me if the armour is accurate I used pictures I took in museums for 1400s armour but it could be off #oh also if you are confused yeah she has some acne. Thought that would be fun to add. She's a teenager #my art

one of the saddest parts of succession ending is the end of these terrible video essay thumbnails. honest to god will easily be one of the most devastating disappearances of an art form in modern history

#my personal favorite might be the one with no text just an arrow coming from rome’s blazer pointing to a blurry nondescript picture #what does it MEAN???#Is Becoming President Too Much To Ask? yes. yes it is. why are we asking that question #want to put these in a museum #succession #succession spoilers #ish #long post #100 #500

Saw the most amazing little guy at the art museum today

#my posts #art museum #I should have taken a picture of the plaque #but also 90% of the stuff in there was ‘unidentified artist’ so #I have opinions about the guy the museum is named after and the fact that he couldn’t remember a single name #but this guy was ‘unidentified Inuit artist’ I think and he’s made of whale bone #I love him a whole lot

Got an idea where since Nick gets like an assignment or something where he has to draw his family and since the museum is basically his family at this point his picture looks like this:

And when he shows it to everybody at the museum they're all just like:

#he shows it to his mom and Don and they're like wtf bro #art #my art #night at the museum #natm #nick daley #larry daley #rexy #dexter #jedediah smith #gaius octavius #sacagawea #teddy roosevelt #attila the hun #ahkmenrah #family picture #comic #meme
