Giant squids were once thought to be mythical creatures, but in 2004, a fishing trawler accidentally caught Archie the giant squid, now preserved in the back room at the Natural History Museum of London. At 8.62 meters long, Archie is by far the largest specimen in the collection. #taxidermy #wetpreservation #naturalhistory #giantsquid #mythicalcreatures #squid #London #darwincollection #weird #macabre (at Natural History Museum, London) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuoZOQtnmMQ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1at3jz2n8uo4c
