Natural History Museum

Natural History Museum

The most intellectually stimulating and fascinating museum in London is undoubtedly the Natural History Museum. It is divided into the Life Galleries and the Earth Galleries, not only offering a complete range of specimens, but both galleries also feature advanced interactive guided exhibits, allowing visitors to easily explore the wonders of nature and humanity.

The most popular attraction in the Life Galleries is the spectacular and richly detailed dinosaur evolution exhibition, which provides a comprehensive introduction from the birth to the extinction of dinosaurs. The various skeletal, fossil specimens, and illustrated models are truly breathtaking, including the most complete dinosaur specimen discovered this century, dating back 125 million years. Want to know how massive dinosaurs walked? There’s even a dinosaur walking simulator here for you to experience firsthand.

Upon entering the Earth Galleries, the dazzling and sci-fi-inspired giant Earth model is truly awe-inspiring. The bronze statue in front of the Earth escalator seems to be beckoning us on a space adventure. To let visitors experience the power of the 1995 Great Hanshin Earthquake in Japan, the Earth Galleries have specially created a supermarket simulation where you can feel the tremors of a strong earthquake.
