Our Creepy Crawlies Gallery is now cocooned away while it transforms into an exciting new experience. We’re sorry for any inconvenience.
In its place, and as part of our NHM150 transformation programme, we’ll be opening a new gallery in autumn 2027 to dazzle and delight our youngest visitors and introduce them to the wonders of the natural world.
Encounter hippos and hedgehogs, snails and serpents, mice and molluscs in our galleries and discover the incredible diversity of the natural world.
Find out how to get around our galleries with the Museum map.
