Natural History Museum in London; Museum of Nature in London
Natural History Museum, London - After admitting that they were not scared to get inside, I have to say that this museum is the perfect choice for kids who want to get introduced to the extinct animals, birds, and sea creatures. The Natural History Museum in London is the place that exhibits a vast range of specimens from various segments of natural history. This museum is a different experience because it is the place where life and earth science specimens are found; there are almost 80 million items with five main collections: botany, entomology, mineralogy, paleontology, and zoology. The moment we stood in front of the museum building, we felt that we have been transported back in time; it is a marvelous old building that surely has been restored in order to be able to host this museum and welcome all those visitors. As much as this building and its architecture is different and elegant, it has been referred to as "the cathedral of nature". It seems that the history of the building is also related to the items found inside, since there are those collections which have their historical as well as scientific importance, such as those specimens collected by Charles Darwin that you could find inside the museum. The most famous thing about this museum - and maybe the reason why we headed there in the first place - is the exhibition of dinosaur skeletons, although there are still millions of other things to be seen inside and which might never be found any other place as well - but dinosaurs, WOW! There are different exhibitions and attractions found inside the place, there are the dinosaur skeletons, butterflies, birds, sea species, and lots of other things and creatures which are related to nature. I believe that the work done to bring these things in such shape and get them introduced to the public is massive and what proves that is the number of scientists who are actually working behind these specimens till now. In addition to the specimens displayed for the public all the time in the museum, there are some events and exhibitions that take place there at specific times only - and those need to be booked beforehand and some of them are not free like the entrance of the whole museum - such as the Wildlife Photographer of the Year and which starts in October, there is also Whale: Beneath the Sea exhibition which started in July and will end in February of next year, there is the Venom: Killer and Cure exhibition which opens on November 10, as well as other different exhibitions which you will need to know more about beforehand in order not to miss. We headed to the Natural Museum in London as a family, but schools also take their students as trips to the museum and teach them a lot of things that they need to know about science, and there are even some teaching resources which the students could depend on online whether they are going to visit the museum or not - which is also one important thing that the museum should be appreciated on. The tour inside the Natural History Museum in London - which has also been famously known as the British Museum before - is free of charge because it is considered an exempt charity. The museum opens its gates at 10 in the morning and closes at 7:30 at night. The Natural History Museum, London - or the British Museum as it has been known before - is definitely a recommended place to visit if you are in London because there are lots of things related to life and earth science which not only your kids will be excited to see and get introduced to, but even you as a parent will see things for the first time which will make you overwhelmed - yes, that's exactly what happened with me, it was a totally different kind of place and museum! There is another part of this museum which is found at Tring, which people are advised to go to - we didn't get the chance to go there yet but we might make a plan in the future. In this museum, there are different galleries which display mandrill, polar bears, birds, stories from the natural world, elephants, rhinos, marine animals that include crocodiles, tiger shark, and anglerfish, mammals, marine mammals, kangaroos and cassowaries, reptiles, amphibians, historic domestic dogs, as well as the gallery related to Rothschild, the man who was behind the idea of bringing this museum to life - I think we will definitely visit this place! Who does not love London? Almost nobody, so at some point you will be one of those wandering through the city and searching for its attractions and landmarks in order to visit, so during this phase of searching, never forget to visit the Natural History Museum and get your mind filled with important information related to science and extinct animals. For the love of animals, we have been visiting pet farms and zoos to give our kids the chance to enjoy their time as well, such as the Turoe Pet Farm in Galway, Northern Ireland, where the kids fed the animals (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gt9VyqhhydA).
