Valentine’s at the Museum
What could be more romantic for nature lovers than Valentine’s Day at the Natural History Museum? How about a Valentine’s evening exploring our galleries after hours!
Spend Valentine’s Day exploring love in the natural world. Experience our galleries after hours and learn from our scientists about romance in the animal kingdom.
With science stations, dance classes and musical performances, we’ve got a jam-packed evening for all love birds.
After discovering all the weird and wonderful ways animals find a mate, head into our Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition to see these fascinating behaviours captured in the stunning images.
Then take a trip into space and touch a piece of Mars, snap a selfie with the Allende meteorite and wrap your hands around a fragment of the Moon.
Come grab a cocktail, explore our galleries after hours and spend some koala-ty time with the ones ewe love. Ticket price includes entry to our Wildlife Photographer of the Year and Space: Could Life Exist Beyond Earth? exhibitions.
