Details

Join us on this tour to discover the work we do, from advocacy and outreach to identifying new species and protecting the collections we care for.

What can we do to secure a more positive future for nature and people? What impact does history have on science? Why is digitisation important? These questions and more reveal the groundbreaking work our scientists carry out every day here and in the field.

Not only are we a historic building with iconic collections, we’re also a living building at the forefront of scientific research that uses the latest technology. We don’t just look to the past - we look to the future too. Join our mission and explore how we’re planning to secure the future of the collections we care for, transform the study of natural history and take steps to become a sustainable organisation.
