Grant Museum Of Zoology

One of the most ancient natural history museums and the last one of its kind in London, The Grant Museum of Zoology contains a wide varied amount of specimens from all around the world. On its collection, there are even extinct species such as remains from Dodos, the Micrarium which contains over 2000 micro samples and the curious brain collection where we can see all the different sizes and shapes compared to us. So you can introduce yourself to the legacy of the man who inspired Charles Darwin into his adventure towards the writing of “On the Origin of Species”.

A gateway for creativity, the gallery always provides a space for local and novel artists who want to make their breakthrough into this difficult world.

Explore the beginnings of flight from the first models of combat aircraft from WW1 to the modern era jets. Not only that but you can also enjoy their interactive content, kid friendly installations and even get really close to the insides of the planes.

Very close to the heart of London in Picadilly you can find the Royal Academy of Arts in the main building of Burlington House.
