Natural History Museum
The Natural History Museum has amassed one of the world's most extensive and valuable collections of natural and cultural history – more than 35 million objects, some as old as 4.5 billion years. It's curatorial staff not only cares for those collections, but uses them for ground-breaking scientific and historic research. The museum also curates new, immersive exhibitions that give visitors the opportunity to explore the "big picture" of our planet – specimens and objects, the stories behind them, and the ways that the natural and cultural worlds interact.
