Further details
Rich Hall, a comedian, writer, documentary-maker, part of the basis of Moe in The Simpsons, and a man who has worked on The Late Show with David Letterman and Saturday Night Live donates a front porch, without which we wouldn't have bluegrass music or wooing, and how it demonstrates that the Americans are willing to be more open than the British.
Dr. Anna Keay, a historian who has worked at Stonehenge, the Tower of London, head of the Landmark Trust, and discoverer of possibly the world's oldest Ordience Survey map, offers The Museum of Curiosity St. Edward's Crown, the crown which is only used for coronations.
Dr. Henry Marsh CBE, Britain's leading brain surgeon, leading neurosurgeon at St George's hospital in London, and the star of two award-winning documentaries provides the Museum a sea squirt's brain, a creature that looks like a tadpole which when it becomes an adult sticks to a rock, and just reabsorbs its brain.
