Natural History Museum
London
The world famous Natural History Museum in London first opened its doors to the
public in 1881 and features hundreds of exciting, interactive natural exhibits divided
into four zones: Green, Blue, Red and Orange. On show is the world's finest collection
of natural history artefacts – over 78 million objects in total, so it is no surprise
that the museum sees more than 3.8 million visitors every year.
Highlights include the famous 'Dinosaurs' collection - the ultimate dinosaur exhibition
where you can inspect dinosaur skeletons and sort the facts from the myths, and
'Mammals' where you will see some of the largest creatures on the planet.
'The Power Within' section is where you will discover what causes earthquakes and
volcanoes, what they feel and look like, and how scientists work to predict them.
The impressive Central Hall is one of the most popular areas of the Natural History
Museum with the 26 metres Diplodocus skeleton and a 1,300-year-old giant sequoia,
whilst the 'Earth's Treasury' gallery features minerals, gems and rocks on display,
from the familiar to unusual.
