Natural History Museum in London (27 May 07)


Visited Natural History Museum on my second visit to London. It is one of the 3 largest museums on South Kesington Road. The nearest undergraound/tube is at South Kesington. This is basically a home for more than 70 millions items of collection. It is particulary famous with its exhibition of dinosaur skeletons.

On the day we went, it was crowded with people.



With such a huge space and plentty of items to exhibit, this museum has to be divided into 4 zones (Orange, Blue, Green & Red). Each zone comes with different theme, exhibiting different items. (http://www.nhm.ac.uk/about-us/website-help/site-map/)




This is a replica of Diplodocus. It is believed to be one of the largest animals we had on earth.




Hahaha..... cute!









Have lots of fun playing with this mirror...










A 1,300 year old giant Sequoia tree...


The real skull of homosapien back in many centuries ago...

Diamonds and stone (when light is on)....


Amazingly some diamonds and stones shine and glow in the dark.....


A replica of Plesiosaur, a type of marine dinosaur.




Does cyclopes really exist way before time?


A specially made cloth which can protect human from melting. Maximum protection up to 900 degree celsius of heat! Amazing isn't it?


Love the architecture and design. The escalator is bring people moving forward to the broken earth ...

After visiting this great museum, I really felt impress! British government really put lots of efforts in collecting fossils and evidence for the purpose of science and education. Where else you could find such a fabulous place with free admission?
