Natural History Museum: World of Wonder

This is a lovely documentary about what it's like to work behind the scenes at the Natural History Museum. The artifacts themselves are interesting but what makes this documentary interesting is seeing the employees enthusiastically explaining the work they do there. The collaboration between museum staff is incredibly satisfying to watch- I've never seen such a fun workplace documentary. If you enjoy seeing people get excited about their special interests in a supportive environment then this series is for you. Also there is no intense history channel style soundtrack so you can focus on what's actually happening.

It's a very interesting series, my opinion is that it successfully shows a balance between the people who work there, and the passion they have for their work and the massive collection of natural history shown within.

The series is not one dimensional, it's not just about the collection, it's about the building, the staff, the collection and the passion. It's a view into a world where what you do to make a living isn't just a job, but a vocation.

Dr Erica McAlister (all things creepy and crawly) was a particular delight!

No show can be all things to all people, but this one comes pretty darn close. Keep an open mind and give it a go.

I don't really want to here about the cleaning lady's fancies. I don't want to see staff prancing around and dressing up for the camera.

Was looking forward to seeing a program about the collection - but couldn't make it through the first episode.

Try again - this time focus on the collection.
