  Mixture of excitement at the contents and reverential awe at the surroundings. Imposing exterior, gives way to busts of the great and the good - you are met by Sedgwick and Murchison as you cross the threshold - and if you're lucky, the curtains will be back revealing the first ever systematic geological maps by Smith and Greenough hanging by the grand staircase. This is walking in the footsteps of Lyell, Darwin and Lapworth. Heady stuff. Here's to another 200 years.
