So if we could talk a little bit about how this incredible building came to be built.

Yeah, I mean, we could be here a long time.

There's so much history to the building and there's a lot of history leading up to it as well.

I always say the natural point that I always start with this, thinking about this story, is going back to the 1700s, which is long before the museum actually physically existed, to a man called Hans Sloane.

And Sloane was a botanist and a physician.

There's a long history of history.

physicians and doctors being botanists because of course plants are the source of a lot of medicines they have been for thousands of years that's still the case today he was very good at what he did he originally lived originally in what's now northern Ireland but eventually he moved to London he was a very good doctor he moved around in kind of the upper circles of of society at the time.

are very hard to look after.
