Natural History Museum - Sensational Butterflies opens 24 March

Natural History Museum
Come face-to-face with hundreds of live butterflies
Walk among hundreds of free-flying butterflies and moths from Africa, Asia and America. See them flutter around a butterfly jungle, and learn about the surprising life they lead at interactive stations.
Senior butterfly collection Curator Dr Blanca Huertas says:
I’m delighted to invite you to visit Sensational Butterflies. We’re lucky to have so many colourful and interesting species that you wouldn’t normally get to see here in the UK. And this year we’ve planted many more lush tropical plants, providing a home for even more butterflies than we’ve had before.
Sensational Butterflies is a family-friendly exhibition.
