Overview

Established in 1881, the Natural History Museum contains more than 80 million objects, spanning more than 4 billion years of natural history. Step through time, witnessing the evolution of dinosaurs, birds and our mammal relatives, and the geological and climate changes that guided the development of life on earth. Witness meteorites from the dawn of time and the mighty Tyrannosaurus rex and get to know the legendary scientists who shaped our knowledge of the distant past, such as Charles Darwin and Mary Anning.

Embark on a private guided tour of the London Natural History Museum, led by an expert guide.
Marvel at the massive dinosaur skeletons in the Hintze Hall and explore the Volcanoes and Earthquakes gallery to uncover the mysteries of Earth's formation.
See the Wildlife Garden, a haven for birds, bees, and other animals and learn about life's diversity in the Evolution Gallery.

Natural History Museum

Welcome to the Natural History Museum in London. As we begin our tour, we pass through Bag Check and the Contactless Donations queue, where an impressive giraffe skeleton stands tall next to a taxidermy giraffe, setting the tone for the incredible collection within. Entering the grand hall, adorned with terracotta arches and columns, we notice playful terracotta monkeys scaling the walls, a nod to Sir Richard Owen’s rivalry with Charles Darwin. Our first stop is the Dinosaur Gallery, featuring prehistoric skeletons, including the iconic Diplodocus. Next, we enter the Mammals Gallery, displaying a diverse array of taxidermy specimens and skeletons, from African elephants to cheetahs. Finally, we explore the Earth Sciences Gallery, filled with geological wonders like gemstones and volcanic rocks. Our tour concludes at the museum's café and gift shop, where you can relax and pick up a souvenir. Guests can also enter the museum free of charge if prebooking entry ticket.
