Copyright: Production team. 1  Entomology is a branch of Zoology which deals with the study of insects. 2  The word originates from the Greek word 'entom', meaning 'notched' which relates to the segmented body of an insect. 3  These insects are by far the most numerous animals on the earth.
It was founded in the aftermath of the Norman conquest of England when William the Conqueror (1066â1087) ordered its construction because he wished to have a fortified place in the important city of Norwich. It proved to be his only castle in East Anglia. It is one of the Norwich 12 heritage sites. The castle now houses the Norwich Castle Museum & Art Gallery, which holds significant objects from the region, especially archaeological finds.
The United States National Museum was founded in 1846 as part of the Smithsonian Institution. The museum was initially housed in the Smithsonian Institution Building, which is better known today as the Smithsonian Castle. A formal exhibit hall opened in 1858. The growing collection led to the construction of a new building, the National Museum Building (known today as the Arts and Industries Building).
