Natural History Museum: A chronology of the natural world

From dinosaurs to stardust, the Natural History Museum endeavours to tell the story of the natural world from the Big Bang to the present day. Once inside the stunning Victorian building with Charles Darwin observing from above, there are 30 permanent galleries to explore, including dinosaur fossils like the huge Triceratops to the life-size cast of Ida, the 47-million-year-old fossil that was recently found in Germany. Visitors can also catch a glimpse of some of the oldest meteorites in the universe and some of the world's most expensive diamonds and gems. A new exhibit has also recently opened, called the Darwin Centre Cocoon, which displays real specimens and large installations, from tarantulas to plants. The Natural History Museum is an iconic building itself, with stunning architecture, and is located next to the V&A Museum and the Science Museum, as well as near famous department store Harrods.
