This is a jewel of an exhibition. Do go if you can. A paeon to the vanishing art of quietly waiting, observing, noticing, recording and drawing, with pens and pencils, on paper.
Thanks to @ianvisits.co.uk for a lovely write up of our Naturalists' Notebooks Exhibition.
It's free, and open 10am-5pm, Tuesday to Friday, with a special open day on 20 September.

From Doodles to Discoveries: Linnean Society showcases the art of scientific note-taking
When you might want to take some notes, you might pull open an app and type, or maybe open a paper book and write – and if you're the latter, your notes could end up in an exhibition like this.
