Waterhouse's Monkeys
Natural History Museum
Cromwell Road, South Kensington
London, September 2003
“Three of the arches of the Central Hall are adorned with 78 monkeys like the one above. They were part of Waterhouse's designs for the museum. He was keen on accuracy, and checked his initial sketches with the museum's scientific staff before allowing the carving and moulding to take place.” (7 Secrets of the Natural History Museum, Wikipedia)
