From its beginnings as part of the British Museum to its current site at South Kensington, the Natural History Museum, London has long been a favourite destination and home to one of the world’s finest collections of natural objects - some 70 million animals, plants, minerals, rocks and fossils.

This engaging book chronicles the more important milestones in the development of this Museum, and brings to life the times in which they occurred, and the excitement and sometimes controversy which surrounded many of these events. Written by museum experts and copiously illustrated, this is a fascinating overview of the public and private life of the museum, past and present.
