UK Tourist & Leisure Attractions

Belinda and Mike - follow our tourist travels in the UK

Natural History Museum, London April 2003 - page 2

Finishing the Bond exhibition, we moved on to the Natural History Museum to see Mike's recent ancestors.  Belinda thought they bared an uncanny resemblance to Mike, particularly with regard to eating!
This is page two of two.

Bob and Belinda discuss some of the Bond props
We've almost completed the Bond exhibition now, just a row of film props to view before the inevitable souvenir shop to entice Belinda!  See our relevant UK tourist links to our visit.
 

The gift shop is always an attraction afterwards
Belinda browses in the gift shop at the end of the Bond exhibition, which was very good we thought and sufficiently different to the one at Beaulieu we went to a few years ago.

The Natural History Museum in South Kensington, London
Just next door to the Science Museum is the Natural History Museum where we went next.  Both museums are in South Kensington in London.
 

It's behind you!
Inside the main bit at the museum and here's Bob taking a picture of the inside.  Mind that statue doesn't grab you Bob, like something out of a horror film!

Inside the Natural History Museum
The main hall in the Natural History Museum, showing the architecture and the information area.
 

Hmmm, yes, that'll do
Mike checks his shot on the camera screen.  Soon be seeing what your ancestors looked like then Mike!

Looking into the Dinosaur area
Here we go then, into the Dinosaur hall.  Oh, Mike's already in there then!  (Yes, very funny Belinda).
 

Mike gets his nose stroked by a Dinosaur
Hope you don't mind that Dinosaur stroking your nose Mike.  Must say, you've aged well.

A moving display of Dinosaur hunting and eating habits
This was a good bit, the big Dinosaur was eating the smaller one in an animated and sound display here.
 

Baby Dinosaurs hatching out of their eggs
Baby Dinosaurs just hatched out of their eggs.  There was sound here too, they certainly made a racket!

Anyone spot Belinda looking at pre-historic creatures in this image?
In another part of the museum and some display cabinets of creatures.  See our links page for the Natural History Museum website.
 

Belinda waves to Mike (she's behind Bob on the left). Opps, case of mistaken identity here!
More pre-historic animals in this huge hall, including this huge Blue Whale.  We found this area fascinating and spent a lot of time wandering around.

A final picture before heading to the cafe for a drink
Mike and Belinda pose under the skeleton of (we think) a giant turtle.  It was rather tiring walking round the museum, but very interesting and well worth the visit.

Belinda points out Mike's picture on the drink cup
We finished our tour of the Natural History Museum in the café.  Yes, very funny Belinda, Mike has his picture on the drinks cups in the Natural History Museum, Ho Ho Ho.

You mustn't miss our visits to the London Eye and Tower of London.
