Natural history museums are truly awesome and astonishing places, but did you know that they’re home to even more specimens than what they have out on display? The Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History (NMNH) in Washington, D.C. maintains a vast collection of specimens that’s over 90% larger than what’s on public display.
“These collections serve as primary reference materials for exploring and understanding the solid Earth and planet, biological and cultural diversity, evolutionary relationships, biological conservation, and global change. They help us to interpret our biological origins, our cultural heritage, and what the future may hold.”
Messy Nessy recently shared a fascinating series of photos of some of the Smithsonian NMNH’s backstage collections, enormous rooms full of seemingly endless drawers, shelves, racks, and cabinets all full of carefully cataloged and organized specimens from many different branches of natural history. The photos were all taken by the late Chip Clark, photographer for the Smithsonian Institution.

the first thing I thought was how well trained the birds were to sleep in those things…then I realized…

Shit I love Technical Theater

The sound of everyone’s feet on a stage during a black out
when 5 techies go on stage, move a piece and it looks like no one did it
the sound of a smooth fly system
the feel of a screw driver with a newly charged battery
at the end of an act or a show and the curtains close and ten techies converge on the stage at once to do their job
being able to see in the dark
the satisfaction of building a piece and seeing it on stage knowing how hard you worked on it
fixing shit the actors break
the sound of ripping gaf tape
saying jokes into the mic during sound check because ‘Testing 123′ is boring
going to a restaurant at the last show
watching actors cry about never seeing each other again and knowing that you will always be back
getting a cue just right
always wearing black
when a scene change goes faster and smoother than planned
saving something before anyone notices it’s wrong
watching actors freak out when something goes wrong and being the only person calm enough to fix it
putting 100% of yourself on stage and no one knows you were there
learning that the best validation can only come from yourself
learning to be creative, quick minded, resourceful, quiet
learning to be humble
knowing that sometimes you don’t have to be loud to be productive
knowing that you don’t have to be seen to do something incredible
I prefer the word technician to “techie”, but the still hits the nail on the head
putting 100% of yourself on stage and no one knows you were there

I’m not saying that I’m an amazing actor but i HAVE won as many Oscars as Leonardo DiCaprio
let’s be honest we’re all just reblogging that as long as we still can
THIS IS YOUR LAST NIGHT Y'ALL
And now the mighty meme is dead. Rest in peace, you will be missed.
