We're reopening on 6 February

We've missed you! After 10 months of improvement works, taking place behind our closed doors, we are thrilled to be reopening on Tuesday 6 February 2024.

It’s taken six new show cases, 7,000 specimen moves, 200 conservation treatments, 350 new labels and many litres of paint.

Come and visit the new displays next month, and find out how our collection continues to have huge impact on how we understand and learn from the natural world. New interpretation explores the Museum's role in conservation research, and highlights how the collections can inspire us to rebalance our relationship with nature.

Tuesday 6 February (1-5pm) will be our first day of public opening, and our first Saturday opening will be 10 February (11am-5pm).

Upcoming events in the Museum

On Wednesday 7 February, we have a showcase evening presenting new collaborative arts and climate projects commissioned through UCL's Performing Planet Activism programme.

On our opening Saturday, curatorial staff will be on hand throughout the Museum to welcome you, answer your questions and shed further light on the work we've been undertaking.

In the February half-term, we are hosting a Family Event: Imaginary Habitats with Collage Club with artist Steph Hartman, exploring UCL's work with endangered habitats through the power of ripping, sticking and shape-making.

And on Saturday 24 February, our Family Event: Wild, a Biodiversity Story delves into a web of ecosystems with an interactive and collaborative game inspired by UCL research.

We hope you can join us!
