The Natural History Museum is one of the big three museums in South Kensington, London. It is a wonderful Victorian building housing the weird and wonderful of the natural world. The Natural History Museum is world famous for its dinosaur skeletons.
Sadly, the museum is a victim of its own success and regularly has very long queues of people waiting outside to enter. This makes it near impossible to visit at the weekend and during UK school holidays, unless you are very patient. There is a side entrance which has shorter queues but weekdays are the best time to visit.
Highlights include the popular Dinosaurs gallery, Mammals with its
unforgettable model blue whale and the spectacular Central Hall, home to
the Museum’s iconic Diplodocus skeleton. Don’t miss the
state-of-the-art Cocoon where, on a self-guided tour, you can see
hundreds of fascinating specimens and look into laboratories where you
can see scientists at work.
The Museum offers a wide-ranging programme of temporary
exhibitions and events including chances to join experts, in the Darwin
Centre’s high-tech Attenborough Studio, in topical discussions about
science and nature.
