Natural History Museum of London

#londontraveltip Take a photo of the Natural History Museum in London after sunset. The suspended blue whale skeleton named Hope, 25 meters long, is best captured then. It ran aground in 1891 and has been on display since 1935. Since 2017, it's in Hintze Hall, conveying important museum narratives. Blue whales were once on the brink of extinction due to overfishing. The museum, opened in 1881, has about 80 million life and earth science collections. It's a research center for taxonomy, etc. Many collections, like those by Darwin, are valuable. Mary Anning's discoveries are on display. The dinosaur hall shows research pioneers, including Chinese paleontologist Yang Zhongjian who discovered Mamenchisaurus.
