    The best part of the museum for me was seeing the specimens collected by Charles Darwin, it was spectacular.

    Home to life and Earth science specimens totally comprising over 80,000,000 items, the Natural History Museum has been nicknamed the ‘Cathedral of Nature’. The museum attracts over 5.5 million visitors each year is one of the only ones in the world dedicated purely to the study of life and evolution. Known particularly for its dinosaur skeletons and ambient architecture, the museum is the pre-eminent center of natural history and research across the globe.

    The best way to explore the Natural History Museum is by going with a professional guide. The majestic museum houses an extraordinary amount of items and having a guide allows you to pursue the museum's collection without feeling overwhelmed. Be it the awe-inspiring dinosaurs or the fascinating displays of Earth’s natural phenomena, the London Natural History Museum is a trove of curiosities sure to be enjoyed by individuals of all ages.

    As you walk through the Natural History Museum, you’ll discover more about the beginning of Earth and the dawn of life on the planet. See the remnants of creatures like the dinosaurs and the dodo birds, and catch a rare glimpse of the rare Archaeopteryx the alleged missing link between dinosaurs and birds. You will also be able to the remains of the ‘River Thames Whale’, giant squids, Dinocochlea and much many more fascinating attractions as you stroll through the ‘Cathedral of Nature’.

    The best part, you will get to enjoy the services of a professional guide in a small group or exclusively allowing you to further immerse yourself in these natural historic surroundings. The museum itself is spread across four different, color coded zones for maximum ease for the visitor but your trained guide will add another layer of information, knowledge, and curation to this journey into the beginning of life on Earth.
