The Natural History Museum is an inspirational place housing magnificent collections of major historical importance. It is also a vital international scientific resource with over 300 scientists using the collections to undertake cutting-edge research in the UK and across the globe.
Our vision is to inspire everyone to understand, enjoy and care for our environment. Your support is vital in helping us to achieve these goals.
In early 2007 we ran a competition for all those joining the Patrons programme, or current Patrons who introduced a friend to the programme, to win a cruise to Greenland. We are delighted to announce that Mr and Mrs Gahagan, Surrey have won the cruise. Many thanks to Voyages of Discovery for donating this fantastic prize.
