We look after more than 70 million specimens representing the variety of life on Earth. Take a free behind-the-scenes tour to see snapshots of these collections and find out how they are used by our 300 scientists. The tour also includes a visit to one of our largest specimens, a giant squid. Tours last about 45 minutes. Numbers are limited, so please book at the information desk in the Central Hall when you arrive. Children must be accompanied by an adult, and tours are not suitable for children under eight.
