Museum of London – Beasts of London

This is a strange exhibition which tries to explain about the different types of animals that have lived in London.  It is a mixture of different types of audio and visual areas.  The aim is to wait in each area before moving onto the next, but it is all a bit mixed up a and some of them are overlong.
