Bedste tid at besøge
Weekday mornings before 11 am bring the calmest galleries, just after staff unlock the doors and before the school parties arrive. Rainy afternoons suit the dimly lit Egyptian gallery, where the low glow makes the mummies feel even more otherworldly.
Budgettips
Everyday entry is free with no booking, though blockbuster exhibitions charge roughly £8 to £12. Donations support the collection, and free lunchtime talks and handling sessions let you go deeper without spending extra.

Om
Hurtige fakta: Nearly 4.5 million objects fill the galleries and stores, spanning Egyptian mummies, dinosaur skeletons, and ancient coins. An active rooftop apiary hosts roughly 60,000 honeybees, and the staff harvest their named honeys for treats in the cafe.
Højdepunkter: Beside each wrapped mummy, a full CAT scan of the same body hangs as a ghostly cross-section, so you can trace the gilded mask against the glow of the skull beneath the linen. Stan the Tyrannosaurus rex, molded from a real skeleton, towers over the ground floor with teeth longer than your forearm.
Insidertips
- Climb to the top floor first to see the mummies while the galleries are emptiest, then drift down through the fossils.
- Slip into the vivarium at feeding time and ask a volunteer when the dart frogs get their fruit flies.
- Leave your flash off for the mummies, and brace your phone against a display case for sharp shots in the low light.
- Grab the free paper trail from the welcome desk to navigate the four floors without doubling back.
