Natural History Museum
With its cathedral-like structure, frescoes and sculptures, the Museum's Central Hall forms a fantastic backdrop to some of the highlights of the Museum's collection, including a Diplodocus skeleton and a 1,300-year-old giant sequoia.
Travel through centuries of evolution and see the wonders of the Museum collection by exploring the bays in this unique building designed by Alfred Waterhouse.
The world-famous Waterhouse Building is a London landmark and a work of art. This beautiful building was designed by Alfred Waterhouse, a young architect from Manchester. He won the contract after the original architect died.
When you arrive, pause to take in the huge façade and high, spired towers. The rounded arches and grand entrance were inspired by basalt columns at Fingal's Cave in western Scotland. This is one of Britain’s most striking examples of Romanesque architecture.
