A quick search through the collections today has revealed a couple of specimens that are definitely worth sharing: two hadal amphipods - Bathycallisoma (Scopelocheirus) schellenbergi from an unbelievable 10,047m depth in the Kermadec Trench:

Sir Hans Sloane's collection formed the basis of the Museum as well as the British Museum and the British Library.
However, there is a complex history behind Sloane's collection, which was financed in part by profits from transatlantic slavery
