Hidden Treasures behind-the-scenes tours

The Museum of Natural History is closed to the public throughout 2013, for restoration work on its leaky vaulted roof. Although the central galleries are thrown into shadow, there’s still plenty to see on our behind-the-scenes tours: head behind locked doors, meet experts and discover special Museum objects.

Choose which of our historic collections to explore; zoology, geology, entomology or the archives. Tours on August 24th are free of charge but must be booked in advance.
