A blue whale overhead, a roaring T. rex, and an earthquake you can stand in.
Science & natureParks & natureFamily friendlyPermanentFree
Free, and built to be walked into: Hintze Hall opens with Hope, a twenty-five-metre blue whale skeleton diving from the ceiling, and around her a mastodon, a marlin, a rock as old as the solar system and one of the most complete dinosaurs ever found in Britain. The Dinosaurs gallery holds part of the first Tyrannosaurus skeleton ever dug up, the first Iguanodon known to science and a Triceratops skull. Volcanoes and Earthquakes has the simulator that puts you in a Japanese grocery during the 1995 Kobe earthquake, along with casts of the dead at Pompeii. The Vault keeps the Aurora Pyramid of Hope — 296 coloured diamonds that glow in the dark — the Devonshire Emerald and a cursed amethyst. Elsewhere: Mary Anning's sea dragons in the Fossil Marine Reptiles gallery, one of them fossilised mid-birth; a Stegosaurus in Earth Hall; the Treasures gallery's twenty-two objects, Guy the gorilla and Darwin's pigeons among them; seven million years of us in Human Evolution; and Fixing Our Broken Planet on what might still be done. Some galleries close for rebuilding — Creepy Crawlies is away until autumn 2027.
