Overview
A huge blue whale skeleton, the skull of a triceratops and a 4.5 billion-year-old meteorite are just a few of the mind-blowing must-see exhibits at Kensington’s Natural History Museum. Grab your guidebook and use the helpful map to get you straight to the exhibitions you want to see most. There’s plenty to explore inside this beautiful old building’s warren of corridors and archways.
Natural History Museum Highlights
Hope, the blue whale
Dominating the cavernous Hintze Hall from her elevated position, Hope is a 4.5-ton complete blue whale skeleton. Look up, you can’t miss her. The entrance hall is also where you’ll find an enormous, century-old slab of giant sequoia, and a gem-filled meteorite fragment as old as the solar system itself.
Dinosaurs gallery
No visit to the Natural History Museum is complete without checking out the huge triceratops skull or meeting Sophie, the world’s most complete stegosaurus skeleton. Watch out for the full-size animatronic T-rex!
The Vault
Fans of all things shiny should head to The Vault, where a variety of rare gems awaits, including the colorful (and huge) Devonshire Emerald and equally enormous Latrobe gold nugget.

Fascinating Exhibits but Be Prepared for Crowds
MysteryGirl ·The Natural History Museum is an absolute masterpiece, both inside and out! From the moment you walk into the stunning Hintze Hall to exploring the world-famous dinosaur galleries, it’s an incredible experience for all ages. It does get quite crowded, so definitely book your free entry tickets in advance and go early. Give yourself at least 3–4 hours because there is so much to see. A world-class attraction that you simply cannot miss!
