Natural History Museum at Tring - New Year, new specimens 🎆

 

As we welcome in the New Year, we're welcoming two new handling specimens to the Museum. Find out more about them below. January is also a month of goodbyes as the temporary display about plants collected and grown by Walter Rothschild closes. Visit before the end of January for your last chance to see a specimen of the glory lily named after the man himself. No visit to the Museum is complete without seeing the very best in wildlife photography at our Wildlife Photographer of the Year Highlights exhibition. Book your free ticket in advance to guarantee entry. There are a limited number of walk-up tickets also available on the day. Book now
