V natural history museums keep exhibits that tell about the past of the Earth and its inhabitants: stones, minerals, skeletons, stuffed animals, collections of insects and plants. There is no place for jokes and fun: science is serious business. But not for Hine Mutsushima (Hine Mizushima) who created the parody " Museum of Unnatural History"from exhibits made with her own hands. No, Hine Mutsushima is not one of those malicious craftsmen who glue the jaws of a monkey to a human skull and excite the world with inflated sensations. Her crafts do not pretend to be scientific - because they are made of thread, plush, fabric and fantasy.
Hine Mutsushima was born and raised in Japan. Her passion for fine arts began with traditional Japanese painting. After her studies, she worked as a designer and illustrator in Tokyo, and then in Rome, Paris, New York, eventually settling in Vancouver (Canada). Now Hine Mutsushima professionally makes fabric dolls - mainly for cartoons and music videos, without leaving an illustration. Her soft sculptures are exhibited in galleries in Tokyo and New York.
One of the most original exhibitions of Hine Mutsushima - " Museum of Unnatural History". With a somewhat pedantic and sometimes black humor, the artist recreates amoebas, dinosaurs, mollusks, human organs and other miracles in alcohol in the form of soft dolls. Octopuses and squids were the first among the" unnatural exhibits "- traces of the artist's passion for Japanese traditional images. then she came up with the idea to supplement the collection with other substances and creatures, from ectoplasm of ghosts to humans.”The collection already contains more than fifty funny exhibits.
Hine Mutsushima makes dolls not only in the form of museum antiquities, but also in the form of various gadgets - mobile phones, cameras, computers … It looks like she decided to make the whole world a dollhouse! Well, if she succeeds, then the "Museum of NOT Natural History" will lose the particle of "not", and it will have to be combined with the collections of other knitted biology experts.

Why “teacher” is insulting, but “idiot” is not: The history of common words, the origin of which many do not even know
We understand perfectly well that the expression “the case smells like kerosene” does not actually mean an unpleasant smell, and “hat” is not always a mouthful, but not everyone knows where such “delights” come from in our language. It is all the more interesting to find out that in Ancient Greece one could take offense at the word "teacher", but quite decent citizens were called "idiots"
Rogvolodovich, not Rurikovich: Why Prince Yaroslav the Wise did not love the Slavs and did not spare his brothers
In the official historiography, Yaroslav the Wise for a long time appeared to be an almost sinless ruler, the creator of legality in the Russian lands. In our time, he is already accused of sending several of his brothers to the next world in order to occupy the Kiev throne. But was it only the desire for power that drove Prince Yaroslav? If you look at the history of his family, then everything that happens is more like revenge … to his father. Bloody revenge for bloody atrocity
What the ancestors of Homo sapiens looked like: Who could not pass natural selection, and with whom everything is not so simple
The transformation of Australopithecus into a modern type of man did not come true, of course, overnight - the process took hundreds of thousands and even millions of years. Everything happened, as is now known, extremely slowly, and at the first stages of anthropogenesis much longer than at the subsequent ones. Here is what is interesting: in addition to the links in the chain of "transformations" into a Homo sapiens, there were other "relatives" of him - who did not pass the selection, but did not sink into oblivion either. These are kind of "uncles" of modern people, passing
She did not promote the Germans, did not ruin Russia, did not leave the course of Peter: what is Anna Ioannovna accused of in vain?
Anna Ioannovna, niece of Peter the Great, went down in history with a terrible image. For what they just did not reproach the second ruling queen of Russia: for tyranny and ignorance, craving for luxury, indifference to state affairs and for the fact that the dominance of the Germans was in power. Anna Ioannovna had a lot of bad character, but the myth about her as an unsuccessful ruler who gave Russia to be torn apart by foreigners is very far from the real historical picture
Acrocanthosaurus - Inflatable Dinosaur at the Natural History Museum
In every self-respecting Natural History Museum, you can see a more or less preserved skeleton of a dinosaur. And in the Museum of the American State of Virginia there are two of them at once - one real and one constructed from balloons by artist Larry Moss (Larry Moss)
