Temporary exhibitions

Enjoy our free, family-friendly exhibitions

The Veolia Environnement Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition has now closed at Tring. But you can enjoy it at the Natural History Museum in South Kensington, London until 11 April 2010.

There are no special exhibitions showing currently at the Natural History Museum at Tring.

From February to July 2010 we are doing essential building work to install a lift to the first and second floor galleries. 

Our special exhibition gallery is closed for that period and will reopen with a new exhibition at the end of July. 

Please check our website or call for more information.
