The Natural History Museum houses the UK's major collections of dinosaur skeletons, fossils and natural specimens. Permanent displays include a roaring T.rex, Fern the Diplodocus, Sophie the Stegosaurus, a giant sequoia, a blue whale model and Hope the blue whale. Current exhibitions include Jurassic Oceans: Monsters of the Deep, featuring ancient marine reptiles, and Visions of Nature, a mixed reality experience. The museum also hosts Dino Disco for Kids on various evenings. Knowledgeable guides lead tours of the most iconic specimens. There's an online shop selling nature-inspired gifts, toys and puzzles.
