Lonely Planet review for Natural History Museum
In 1857 Scottish explorer Dr David Livingstone delivered the opening lecture for the wonderful and slightly creepy ‘dead zoo’ that is the Victorian natural history museum. This redoubtable building and its extraordinary collection of two million items (of which only 10,000 were on display) has recently reopened after a makeover.
