All Things Beautiful: Wonders from the Collections of the Florida Museum of Natural History was created in-house at the Florida Museum of Natural History, with contributions from the curators and collection managers of each collection as well as input from emeriti faculty and staff and national and international experts. Photography, graphic design, and editorial oversight were accomplished with existing staff, with text contributed by freelancer Heather Dewar, who worked closely with the Museum team.
