Originating from Sir Francis Sloane’s collection of plant and animal specimens, the Natural History Museum in London houses over 70 million items. Located near the Victoria and Albert Museum and the Science Museum, permanent exhibits of the Natural History Museum include: the Darwin Centre, with a collection of 22 million species preserved in alcohol; the animatronic Tyrannosaurus Rex in its Life Galleries Exhibit; and a Hands On exhibit which allows guests to explore geology and biology first-hand.
