A trip to the Natural History Museum London + Titanosaur exhibition
ziggycardon posted a topic in A Trip to the Museum
Hi everyone! Past summer I visited London for a comic con, but I always try to visit the NHM as well when I am in London. Luckily this time I had an entire day stretched since I also wanted to make some photo's of the collection and I thought, why no share it here. A bit overdue but let's start with my most recent visit to my favorite place on earth: The amazing thing about the NHM is that the entrance is free, but since I like to support the museum and don't like to wait for hours in line I always book a ticket for the current special exhibition which was the Patagotitan skeleton currently on display. I entered from the side entrance were I was greeted by Sophie the Stegosaurus stenops which is the most complete skeleton ever found. Before we headed to the Titanosaur exhibition I came across this cool new Jurassic World Shop with everything JP & JW merchandise. I got myself a 30 year anniversary gilded ticket from Jurassic Park as a souvenir After our quick detour we entered the new temporary exhibition: Titanosaur: Life as the Biggest Dinosaur The actual Patagotitan mayorum femur found in the La Fletcha Ranch, Patagonia, Argentina - Cretaceous, Albian, 101.62 mya Patagotitan scapula, humerus, ulna & radius found in the La Flecha Ranch, Patagonia, Argentina Haestasaurus becklesii skin impression found in Hastings, East Sussex, UK - Cretaceous, Valanginian, 140 - 133 mya Titanosaur coprolite found in Maharashtra, India - Cretaceous, Maastrichtian, 72 - 66 mya Patagotitan mayorum tooth replica- 27 replies

On Sunday I took a trip to the Natural History Museum in London. I queued up before it opened at 10am and even before then there was a long queue. I have not visited this museum since I was a child and spent an entire day there (10am to 4.30pm - a long time). I was surprised as it is a lot bigger than I remembered and there was so much to see. This place has the most wonderful things and is an incredible place to learn. The museum showcases a Baryonyx, Sophie the Stegosaurus (the world's most complete Stegosaurus) and more! The moving Trex and Deinonychus are also really realistic in the way they move. If you like your dinosaur teeth, the Megalosaurus and Daspletosaurus teeth are out of this world! There is something for everyone in this museum and I would highly recommend that you visit here if you have not already! A lot of the dinosaur specimens are casts taken from other museums but they are still cool to look at. I had taken the photos on my SLR and due to the size of the photos I had to reduce the quality of them to be able to post on the forum which is unfortunate but it's the only way otherwise the photos would take a really long time to load. There are more non-dinosaur related photos that I will be posting at some point later on but may take me some time to pick out. Enjoy the photos from this section of the museum!
