I used to love it there but it’s bloody awful since the makeover it’s had for the new Dinosaur Mania that is Jurassic Park.
The corridor containing the marine reptile exhibits was a place you could sit, occasionally peacefully, and be bowled over by the sheer wonder of the things but now it’s six-deep with jostling bodies and shouting kids all the time.
Oh and, on the face of it, free entry is a Good Thing (TM) but the merchandising space is way over the top and is only exceeded by the mark-up on the soft drinks in the canteens.
That reminds me I hate the natural history museum in London. It’s just rammed with stupid cunts. Grown men climbing over each other to look an exhibit designed for 7 year olds. There was a wooden radiator housing with screwed down panels that some of these cretinous vermin were trying to interact with as if it was some multi sensory installation.
Just get the bus to Oxford and go to the smaller quieter natural history museum with the added bonus of the Pitt Rivers instead.
