Follow-up question: how did you go about finding/picking all that stuff? I was particularly surprised to see a ctenophore picture on the wall—it’s the sort of thing which makes sense in the collection, but only if you have (what I thought to be) some fairly esoteric background knowledge about evo-devo.
I just googled around for pictures of things I think are neat. I think ctenophores are neat, since they look like alien spaceships and maybe evolved neurons independently; I think it’s neat that wind sometimes makes clouds do the vortex thing that canoe paddles make water do, etc.
