I'm British and absolutely Love all the Museums in Britain. And that they are Free to all .Education is so important a basic human Right in my opinion.
"Such an awe-inspiring exploration of the Natural History Museum in London! 🦕🌍 With over 80 million items, this place is a treasure trove of knowledge and wonder. Your detailed tour brought the exhibits to life, and it's incredible to see the diversity of the natural world under one roof.
21:39 Sounds like ActionDracula made an appearance, and the T. rex animatronic looks hilarious with the Christmas costume! 😂 57:13 That's a cool escalator! 1:02:50 You went to the Earthquake Simulator! Ahh, earthquakes are no fun! 😭 I'm so impressed with the Natural History Museum, and it's FREE. There's so much to see, and the architecture is spectacular. Thank you for sharing this amazing tour, AK! 🤗
The NHM is the country's busiest indoor attraction and November is actually low season. Weekends however still command long queues -worst between 11: 30-3pm when there's an hours wait, or longer. In Half Term holidays this can be 2-3 hrs at lunch times, for non-ticket holders, who are waiting for capacity to free up inside. They always allow for latecomers, not so much early arrivals, though an hours grace is okay on most day. All galleries and museums in London are free to enter, but book your free tickets for the busiest ones - temporary exhibitions come at cost. Another great museum is the Tate Modern, the world's largest modern art gallery, with its iconic Turbine Hall.
0:23 Even the museum exterior looks beautiful ,museums usually are not interesting but this was exception wow😎Impressive place🙂Thank you for showing us this Natural History Museum A K🙂👍!!!
When you were coming down after trying to start at the top near the beginning I thought you would find yourself stuck having to exit with out seeing much of anything.
btw, it is a Blue Whale (called Hope). She replaced an iconic Diplodocus skeleton (Dippy, but to be renamed) that's currently being copied in bronze and being installed into the front gardens, set up with tree ferns like a jungle. |It's a shame there is also an iconic, vast room with another Blue Whale, but a model fully fleshed out, surrounded by elephants, giraffes, hippos etc in the Mammals Room, with other whale skeletons and models floating above -but unfortunately closed last month for cleaning.
There were strange creatures just after dinosaurs were a thing. You should know. they were repo-mammals. Basically somewhere between a reptile and mammal. They laid eggs yet some did live birth. They looked reptilian yet had warm blood yet had mammal features. It’s a fascinating time period. It’s like nature couldn’t decide which direction to go. We have fossils of these creatures yet are most understudied part of the fossil record because we don’t have enough to fully understand this time period. We do have some evidence of something called a demon pig which was a repto-mammal but not enough to understand its environment. We still have a lot to learn you know.
Bear model my butt. Those are real taxidermy. Real skin pulled over a dummy to create that. Modern taxidermy tends to favor synthetic skin like fake leather but the British museum’s collection dates from the 1700s or earlier making them technically antiques or cultural artifacts, free from any type of material laws. Those pieces are cleaned and polished up regularly to make sure they look good every time. Honestly most people don’t understand the concept of taxidermy unless you’ve seen it before. Some examples are from the 1900s but still qualify as antiques.
Coral turns white and calcifies over time creating that. Other coral build on top of that to create new coral reefs. That one must have been buried under the sand of the ocean to get something like that.
It was turned white by coral bleaching, which is made by the ongoing acidification of our oceans due to global warming. In our lifetimes coral may well die out across the world, and thus the nursery for most of our fish, as the pH level is 2 points away from catastrophic extinction for them. The Great Barrier Reef had a mass die off in 2018 (70%), for which journalists wrote obituaries. If you have kids, get them to see it now. This Turbinaria coral is there as a poignant reminder.
The skeleton hanging from the atrium is of a blue whale. Likely a replica as the real bones are in the basement somewhere in the study collection. There’s a blue whale skeleton in the Smithsonian Institution National history museum too though they use a floor display instead of hanging it as it’s an anatomy lesson on whales. You can tell a bit by the teeth as it has none. A predator whale would have teeth or at least holes where teeth go. This has no teeth and you know by size, you can slowly eliminate what whale species you know by size.
I am surprised you did not do the Tower of London and Crown Jewels! I suppose they did not allow cameras and you were just after UA-cam content! That is a shame! Your loss!
So much in London to cover! ActionKid would have to camp out for months and months in London to give everything coverage. He covers unique niches too (like neighborhood restaurants) that others don't even go near. I'm sure you can find LOTS of Tower of London and Crown Jewels coverage elsewhere. ActionKid takes us both on and off the tourist track.
Yes, I did not go into the Tower of London and it is incorrect to assume they don’t allow cameras and I only wanted UA-cam content. It was not meaningful enough for me to cover during my trip and there was only so much I can do during my time in London.

@@maxmoore9955 They still need to be paid for, but they are free to enter.
The building architecture in itself is a museum worthy. The design and elaborate details are insanely beautiful

I have really enjoyed your videos of London during the holiday season. I look forward to you covering NYC during the Christmas season.
Thank you very much, I’m glad you enjoyed my videos of London

I am thoroughly impressed by this museum. Your tour really helped us to understand how comprehensive and vast it is.
It's the greatest natural history collection in the world and very popular as a result.
The panda is real. She was born in 1957 and has been in the museum since 1972. She's called Chi-Chi.
Great video AK

Thanks for this!
You’re welcome, thanks for watching!

Gosh! You used to be able to just walk right in

43:20 Completely ignores the Dodo taxidermy. Wat?!
That skull is enormous 😮
Absolutely!
Didn't you mention in your earlier video that entrance is free for most museums.
It's conected to the science museum by a secret entrance.
Wow! That’s amazing
OMG! He doesn't sleep 😴
Of course I sleep
He got a twin 👍
👍😀
I bet those faded looking stuffed animals are probably at least 100 yrs. old. 😁
is that creature in the space exhibit a alien
Darwin centre thousands of bottles of different species 😮
Wow!
Good evening

@@zupermaus9276 the old natural way I meant. It would take eons to create that. The pollution way is way too horrible for the environment.
