[Fritzthecat, 09/08/2010] We hadn't made a trip to London to see a museum in ages and both our daughters were begging that we take them.

With access via the South Kensington tube and "free admission", this "home of the national collections of living and fossil plants, animals and minerals" has many fantastic displays on view.

perfection!

Entrance is free to this museum where, according to the author, "kids and most adults will lose their minds". In the Life Galleries there are "wonderful interactive displays" that include themes such as "Human Biology and Creepy Crawlies". There is also a "crowd-pulling" exhibition with "animatronic movers and shakers" that feature mammals and dinosaurs. The Earth Galleries are also "equally impressive".

The article starts with the precise directions to the museum under "location and access". Here the author also mentions that the museum is "large and beautiful" and has a "stunning" architecture.
