Join Conservator Eloïse Lovejoy for a little ASMR at the Museum.
Put your headphones on and listen as Eloïse gently cares for a copy of Treatise on Zoology, published in Paris in 1884, which is held in the Library and Archives collection.
Our oldest natural history book was published in 1469 - though it was written much earlier by Pliny the Elder!
You can flip through the pages of our first edition copy of Historia Naturalis online: https://www.nhm.ac.uk/discover/news/2016/december/museums-oldest-natural-history-book-now-accessible-online.html
