Natural History Museum at Tring
Natural History Museum at Tring, Akeman, Tring, Hertfordshire, HP23 6AP.
The Natural History Museum at Tring is the Natural History Museum’s sister museum in Hertfordshire. It opened in the late 1800s to house the collections of Lionel Walter, second Baron Rothschild and offers outstanding examples of nineteenth-century taxidermy at its very best. The museum was bequeathed to the nation and became part of the Natural History Museum in 1938. The public galleries were modernised, but the fascinating character of the Museum has been retained.
Over 100,000 visitors a year enjoy a glimpse into the fascinating world of a Victorian collector, where they can see a huge variety of wild, weird and wonderful specimens from across the animal kingdom – from armadillos to zebras.
The site at Tring also houses both the stunning Rothschild library and the Natural History Museum’s ornithological collection which has been based there since the early 1970s.
