Sightings: squirters and grabbers and collectors

Monday, April 19th, 2010

My friend Chris and his brother Martin sent me these photos from their recent visit to the Boston Museum of Science.

Here Martin poses in front of a case displaying a plethora of model cephalopods (part of the Making Models exhibit). Squirters and Grabbers indeed.

And here he stands before an exhibit on collecting…and look, there’s someone’s octopus collection! I have that plush Blue Ringed Octopus in my own collection (although I haven’t got around to posting it yet), and, in all likelyhood, I have a few of the other ones as well. I’d say they should have featured my collection instead, but they’d probably have needed to dedicate an entire wing of the museum to it. Now there’s an idea…the ISK Hall of Cephalopods!
