Founded in 1881, and dubbed ‘the cathedral to nature’ the Natural History Museum’s vast collection spans millions of years of Earth’s history, offering visitors a glimpse into the planet’s rich biodiversity and geological heritage. Marvel at the awe-inspiring Blue Whale skeleton suspended from the ceiling of the Hintze Hall, or wander through the immersive galleries dedicated to everything from botany and entomology to human evolution.
