better off dead





I adore the museum. Auckland Museum specifically, but any museum will do. It's the taxidermy, the elaborately recreated scenes, the attention to detail, the sense of stillness and wonder.

I like the butterflies immaculately laid out, all in a row.


The glazed-eye animals.


The flocks of hanging birds.

The lofty, vaulted ceilings.



The curious children.

And the dim light.
