Description
On this privately guided tour, discover over 80 million specimens at London’s Natural History Museum. With a maximum of 8 people per group, this intimate experience allows you to set the pace, ask questions, discuss points of interest and dive deeper into observations.
Begin in the Central Hall beneath the suspended blue whale skeleton, surrounded by Romanesque arches and intricate terracotta details. Here, your professional guide will introduce the museum’s origins and the Victorian vision that shaped this cathedral to nature.
You can trace the story of life on Earth, from meteorites older than our planet to the age of dinosaurs and the rise of mammals. You will learn about pioneering scientists such as Charles Darwin and Mary Anning and hear the scientific rivalries and discoveries that transformed our understanding of evolution.
In the Dinosaur Gallery, come face-to-face with a roaring animatronic Tyrannosaurus rex and marvel at Triceratops and Stegosaurus skeletons, including ‘Sophie,’ one of the most complete ever found. Continue into the Marine Reptiles Gallery to encounter Ichthyosaurs and other ancient sea creatures from the Jurassic seas.
Your tour concludes in the Human Evolution Gallery. Once the tour is complete, you are free to relax in the café or browse the gift shop for souvenirs.
The private tour is perfect for those who want an in-depth exploration of the museum and are keen to engage with the guide.
