Charles Bell anti-vivisection protest 1910 about the Brown Dog case Evolution - A Journal of Nature - cartoon from issue 07 Statue from Rapa Nui (Easter Island) in the British Museum, Hoa Hakananai’a (or Stolen Friend) Statue from Rapa Nui (Easter Island) in the British Museum, Hoa Hakananai’a (or Stolen Friend) Regular Contact With Anyone Interested Flight of the Langoustine, by Pierre Diamantopoulo MRSS. It is made of four life-size bronze figures flying through a steel grid. It was inspired by a discarded and mangled lobster pot that the artist had found on Brighton beach. In his imagination, the washed-up object that had seemingly helped the lobsters escape, translated itself into a wider story of human exodus and release – a dash for freedom. Diamantopoulo describes the figures as “at once profound, frivolous and boisterous, occupying the air like a flock of birds and inspired by modern dance choreography”. Bronze casting at Milwyn Foundry and fabrication of the steel grid and assembly by Art Fabrications. The sculpture weighs 2.2 tonnes and measures approximately 3.5 metres high and 3 meters wide. Flight of the Langoustine was inaugurated on the Hove Plinth on 17 September 2023. darwin-expression-of-emotions-in-man-and-animals-joe-cain-sharon-messenger-08 Case 65 Structure 6 Sense Organs and Viscera darwin-expression-of-emotions-in-man-and-animals-joe-cain-sharon-messenger-15 darwin-expression-of-emotions-in-man-and-animals-joe-cain-sharon-messenger-23 Survey of Animals exhibit in Natural History Gallery (balcony) in Horniman Museum, Forest Hill, London, UK
