The Natural History Museum

Another Saturday, another trip to a London museum! :-D

The Natural History Museum is great. It is right next-door to the Science Museum in South Kensington and is a huge brick building decorated with gargoyles. As you walk in the entrance you are greeted by an amazing skeleton (or cast of a skeleton).

Highlights:

The dinosaur section is very much worth the queue. It contains a three quarters scale moving T-Rex towards the end which (using a little imagination) is actually quite scary.

The section of a Giant Sequioa tree is pretty impressive as are the photos next to it.

The mammal area is great and complete with full size model of a blue whale. It’s huge!

The best thing is that despite spending a good few hours there I think I only saw about a quarter of the exhibitions. Definitely worth another visit!
