Natural History Museum

The incredible Victorian building that is the Natural History Museum is divided into different zones exploring varying aspects of the planet. Highlights include a full-size model of a blue whale, the dinosaur exhibits and the earthquake simulator. For live specimens, there is the Wildlife Garden outside. The Darwin Centre houses the museum's extensive collections of specimens, which date as far back as the 16th century but also include recent new species discoveries. It also allows visitors to interact with the scientists using the collections and carrying out current research.
