Walking through time at the Natural History Museum

The Natural History Museum is opening a major outdoor green space to support urban nature, scientific research and education, complete with a huge brand new bronze diplodocus dinosaur.

Five acres wrapping around the museum in Kensington, west London, have been transformed into two gardens - the Nature Discovery Garden and the Evolution Garden, which tell the story of the changing natural world.

The gardens will be free to visit for the public but will also be used to study urban nature, how it is changing, and what can be done to support its recovery.
