| There is a cluster of museums located in the heart of South Kensington and the Natural History Museum located in the Waterhouse Building on Cromwell Road is definitely the grandest of them all. Since opening on Easter Monday in 1881 the Natural History Museum has been a truly fascinating place to visit, with over 70 million specimens and items to astound each and every visitor - from children to zoology researchers alike. When you enter this stunning Italian Renaissance style building, you are greeted by a ridiculously large Diplodocus dinosaur and from here on in your visit becomes a lesson dedicated entirely to assist in the understanding of this crazy thing we call the natural world. |
