In this video, Jessica the Museum Guide (that’s me!) takes you on a detailed guided tour of London’s iconic Natural History Museum.

We’ll explore the history of the museum and explore the massive Hintze Hall, including Hope the Blue Whale and the statue of Charles Darwin. Next, we’ll tour the epic Dinosaur Collection and say hello to Dippy, followed by the treasures of the Cadogan Gallery.

We break into The Vault to see some wondrous geology and admire the taxidermy of the Mammals collection. After bidding farewell to the mammals, we take a peek at the Spirit Collection, followed by some highlights of Human Evolution. We finish the tour in the Earthquake Simulator where things really get shakin’ (groan).

As always, thanks for watching. Be sure to leave your comments and questions below. If you enjoyed this virtual tour, then please consider leaving me a tip at paypal.me/jessicatourguide or buy me a coffee at https://www.buymeacoffee.com/JessicaG...
