The+Natural+History+Museum

The museum is home to life and earth science specimens comprising of over 70 million exhibits that are organized into five main collections: Botany, Entomology, Mineralogy, Paleontology, and Zoology. The museum is a world-renowned centre of research, specializing in classification, identification, and conservation. Given the age of the institution, many of the collections have great historical as well as scientific value, such as specimens collected by Darwin. The Natural History Museum Library contains extensive book, journal, manuscript, and artwork collections linked to the work and research of the scientific departments. Access to the library is by appointment only. The museum is especially famous for its dinosaur exhibitions. Admission is free to the public although certain traveling exhibitions may require a ticket to view. You can also eat at the self-service family restaurant, central hall café, snack bar, and deli café located throughout the museum.
