At Natural History Museum

South Kensington

Book free museum entry online to skip queues
Bring a sketchbook, the facade details are incredible
No photography in the library, soak it up instead

Step behind the famous terracotta facade on a guided exploration of the Natural History Museum's Victorian architecture, original sketches, and modern additions. Then slip into the archives for a rare 30-minute session with an Assistant Archivist, where Alfred Waterhouse's drawings and wartime photography sit under conservation glass.

Friday, November 13, 1:00 PM
