The Natural History Museum in London has set itself the mammoth task of digitising its specimens - all 80 million of them. The museum's collection includes everything from a blue whale skeleton to Martian meteorites, making progress understandably slow. Head of Informatics Vince Smith says it would take around 1,500 years for the team to manually digitise it all, so in 2014 they decided to write software that allows them to do it in bulk. They now use six DSLR cameras to process up to 200 items at a time. WIRED went behind the scenes to meet the researchers working on the project and learn more about how they digitise the different specimens.

Bengaluru might be known as the pub capital and Silicon Valley of the country, but the art and culture scenario here is something which is not always in the spotlight. While museums are often associated with ancient artefacts and historical figures, those in Bengaluru are now shedding that image with dedicated ones coming up for photography, music and other fields. Thousands of people visit them daily, and the numbers shoot up during weekends.
