The Natural History Museum is one of the three largest museums in UK,(the others are the Science Museum and the Victoria and Albert Museum).The Natural History Museum is home to the nation’s finest collections of natural history specimens and is one of the UK’s top visitor attractions.

The museum is home to life and earth science specimens comprising some 70 million items within five main collections: Botany, Entomology, Mineralogy, Palaeontology and Zoology. The museum is a world-renowned centre of research, specialising in taxonomy, identification and conservation.

The museum building is as striking as the exhibits it contains. Designed by Fowke as a cathedral of science, the museum is entered through a set of doors flanked by columns modeled on those at Fingle’s Cave in Scotland. The Romanesque style interior is supported on intricately carved and decorated columns. Terra-cotta has been used as a unifying decorative material, and everywhere there are carvings of beats and plants, both imaginary and real.

The museum is particularly famous for its exhibition of dinosaur skeletons,fossils, human biology, earth sciences, and the ever-popular Creepy Crawlies.The museum can be divided into several distinct areas; the Life Galleries, Earth Galleries, Wildlife Garden, and Temporary Exhibitions. Given the age of the institution, many of the collections have great historical as well as scientific value, such as specimens collected by Darwin. The Museum Library contains extensive books, journals, manuscripts, and artwork collections linked to the work and research of the scientific departments.

The Natural History Museum is one of the world’s finest museums in any discipline, and is well-deserving of a visit.
