Natural History Museum

　　London’s most intellectually stimulating and fascinating museum is none other than the Natural History Museum. The museum is divided into the Life Galleries and the Earth Galleries. Not only are the various specimens comprehensive, but both galleries also feature advanced interactive guidance systems, 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 thorough introduction from the birth to the extinction of dinosaurs. The various skeletal, fossil specimens, and illustrative models are truly breathtaking, including the most complete dinosaur discovered this century — a 125-million-year-old specimen. Wondering how massive dinosaurs walked? There’s even a dinosaur walking simulator here for you to experience it firsthand.

　　Upon entering the Earth Galleries, the dazzling, sci-fi-inspired giant globe is truly awe-inspiring. The bronze statue in front of the Earth escalator seems to beckon 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 setting where you can feel the intense shaking of a powerful earthquake.
