My children and now my grandchildren have grown up visiting the Natural History Museum. It is such a treat to see that familiar look of wonder on my grandchildren’s faces every time we visit. The Museum and its iconic Victorian building are steeped in rich history and the overall message has remained the same throughout time – to preserve the past and shape the future.
