History Museum</b> in <a href="/wiki/London" title="London">London</a> is a museum that exhibits a vast range of specimens from various segments of <a href="/wiki/Natural_history" title="Natural

The Natural History Museum's main frontage, however, is on <a href="/wiki/Cromwell_Road" title="Cromwell Road">Cromwell Road</a>. </p><p>The museum is home to life and earth science specimens comprising some 80 million items within five main collections: <a href="/wiki/Botany" title="Botany">botany</a>, <a href="/wiki/Entomology" title="Entomology">entomology</a>, <a href="/wiki/Mineralogy" title="Mineralogy">mineralogy</a>, <a href="/wiki/Palaeontology" class="mw-redirect" title="Palaeontology">palaeontology</a> and <a href="/wiki/Zoology" title="Zoology">zoology</a>. The museum is a centre of research specialising in <a href="/wiki/Taxonomy_(biology)" title="Taxonomy (biology)">taxonomy</a>, identification and conservation. Given the age of the institution, many of the collections have great historical as well as scientific value, such as specimens collected by <a href="/wiki/Charles_Darwin" title="Charles Darwin">Charles Darwin</a>. The museum is particularly famous for its exhibition of <a href="/wiki/Dinosaur" title="Dinosaur">dinosaur</a> skeletons and ornate architecture—sometimes dubbed a <i>cathedral of nature</i>—both exemplified by the large <i><a href="/wiki/Diplodocus" title="Diplodocus">Diplodocus</a></i> <a href="/wiki/Dippy_(London)" title="Dippy (London)">cast</a> that dominated the vaulted central hall before it was replaced in 2017 with the skeleton of a blue whale hanging from <a href="/wiki/Ceilings_of_the_Natural_History_Museum,_London" title="Ceilings of the Natural History Museum, London">the ceiling</a>. The Natural History Museum Library contains an extensive collection of books, journals, manuscripts, and artwork linked to the work and research of the scientific departments; access to the library is by appointment only. The museum is recognised as the pre-eminent centre of natural history and research of related fields in the world. </p><p>Although commonly referred to as the Natural History Museum, it was officially known as <b>British Museum (Natural History)</b> until 1992, despite legal separation from the <a href="/wiki/British_Museum" title="British Museum">British Museum</a> itself in 1963.

The pieces were sent to London in 36 crates, and on 12 May 1905, the exhibit was unveiled to great public and media interest. The real fossil had yet to be mounted, as the Carnegie Museum in Pittsburgh was still being constructed to house it. As word of Dippy spread, Mr Carnegie paid to have additional copies made for display in most major European capitals and in Central and South America, making Dippy the most-viewed dinosaur skeleton in the world. The dinosaur quickly became an iconic representation of the museum, and has featured in many cartoons and other media, including the 1975 Disney comedy <i><a href="/wiki/One_of_Our_Dinosaurs_Is_Missing" title="One of Our Dinosaurs Is Missing">One of Our Dinosaurs Is Missing</a></i>.

The display of the skeleton, some 82 feet (25 m) long and weighing 4.5 tonnes, was only made possible in 1934 with the building of the <b>New Whale Hall</b> (now the <b>Mammals (blue whale model) gallery</b>). The whale had been in storage for 42 years since its stranding on sandbanks at the mouth of <a href="/wiki/Wexford_Harbour" title="Wexford Harbour">Wexford Harbour</a>, Ireland in March 1891 after being injured by whalers.<sup id="cite_ref-telegraph_2017_25-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-telegraph_2017-25"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>25<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> At this time, it was first displayed in the Mammals (blue whale model) gallery, but now takes pride of place in the museum's Hintze Hall. Discussion of the idea of a life-sized model also began around 1934, and work was undertaken within the Whale Hall itself. Since taking a cast of such a large animal was deemed prohibitively expensive, scale models were used to meticulously piece the structure together. During construction, workmen left a trapdoor within the whale's stomach, which they would use for surreptitious cigarette breaks. Before the door was closed and sealed forever, some coins and a telephone directory were placed inside—this soon growing to an <a href="/wiki/Urban_myth" class="mw-redirect" title="Urban myth">urban myth</a> that a <a href="/wiki/Time_capsule" title="Time capsule">time capsule</a> was left inside. The work was completed—entirely within the hall and in view of the public—in 1938. At the time it was the largest such model in the world, at 92 feet (28 m) in length. The construction details were later borrowed by several American museums, who scaled the plans further. The work involved in removing Dippy and replacing it with Hope was documented in a <a href="/wiki/British_Broadcasting_Corporation" class="mw-redirect" title="British Broadcasting Corporation">BBC</a> Television special, <i><a href="/wiki/Horizon_(UK_TV_series)" class="mw-redirect" title="Horizon (UK TV series)">Horizon</a>: Dippy and the Whale</i>, narrated by <a href="/wiki/David_Attenborough" title="David Attenborough">David Attenborough</a>, which was first broadcast on <a href="/wiki/BBC_Two" title="BBC Two">BBC Two</a> on 13 July 2017, the day before Hope was unveiled for public display.<sup id="cite_ref-27" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-27"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>27<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The Darwin Centre is host to <a href="/wiki/Archie_(squid)" class="mw-redirect" title="Archie (squid)">Archie</a>, an 8.62-metre-long <a href="/wiki/Giant_squid" title="Giant squid">giant squid</a> taken alive in a fishing net near the <a href="/wiki/Falkland_Islands" title="Falkland Islands">Falkland Islands</a> in 2004.
