A secret lab full of pickled animals?? ad You won't believe what you'll find in the basement of @Natural History Museum London … but you can find out this and more if you book the Spirits Tour (£25pp). You'll learn about the history of pickling specimens, and get to see iconic specimens including some from the London whale that was stranded in the Thames in 2006, and see Darwin's own specimens which are almost 200 years old! Another great tour is the Secrets of the Natural History Museum where you learn about the history of the NHM, including beef between the museum's founder and Charles Darwin, history of the museum during WW2 and so much more. Both tours cost £25pp and can be booked on the NHM website now! #nhm #naturalhistorymuseum #secrethistory #pickles #weirdandwonderful #london #londonhistory #secretlondon
