World of Science at the Natural History Museum in London!
The Natural History Museum in London is one of the three world-renowned museums on Exhibition Road in South Kensington (the other two are the V&A Museum and the Science Museum).
London Natural History Museum is home to riches of life and earth science specimens; its five substantial collections, i.e. Botany, Mineralogy, Entomology, Zoology and Palaeontology comprise more than 70 millions distinct objects from across the world. Many of the museum's collections, including Darwin's specimen collection are many hundred years old and have high scientific as well as historical value.
The Natural History Museum in London is also a state-of-the-art centre of research, specialised in conservation, identification and taxonomy. There's a comprehensive collection of books, manuscripts, journals and artworks at the Natural History Museum Library, however, the access to the library is appointment only.
Visitors to the London Natural History Museum get a one off opportunity to explore its classic Dinosaurs gallery, the splendid Central Hall, Mammals with a gargantuan model blue whale and Cocoon where large numbers of preserved specimens showcased and high-tech laboratories opened up for visiting. Visitors also get a chance to join senior experts in the Darwin Centre's ultra-modern Attenborough Studio where a number of topical discussions about nature and science take place.
The Natural History Museum in London holds a string of temporary exhibitions, events and activities all year around. Although, the entry to the museum is free, some temporary events and exhibitions may charge an entry fee to visitors.
