Every celebration deserves cake!

In 1950, Museum botanist John Ramsbottom's retirement was marked with this fungi-bedecked baking showstopper!

Do you remember visiting the Geological Museum when the galleries looked like this?

For many, it is a complete surprise to see this image from our archives.

The Geological Museum was founded in 1835 by Sir Henry de la Beche; the first institution of its kind in the world.

Our T. rex needs regular check-ups to keep it roaring so it’ll be off display for maintenance from 7 to 25 September. 🦖

But don't worry, we have plenty of other dinosaurs to visit around the Museum, which one is your favourite?

Genuine Londoners know they're blessed with myriad of free Museums that aren't just for tourists. Yesterday visit Cocoon at the #NaturalHistoryMuseum in London & surprised to spot someone I know working there. Limnologist who tests water in the Serpentine. #LetsGuide #UniquelyLondon #ALondonersLife4
