Galleries

We're the Museum on Oxford Road with the dinosaurs, mummies and live animals. We also have loads of other great stuff from the natural world and different cultures. These include fossils, rocks and minerals, stuffed animals, birds and insects, money, archery, lots of things made or used by people from different cultures and archaeological finds (including ancient Egyptian, Roman and Greek).

We have started work on our new Ancient Worlds galleries, opening Oct 2012, which will replace the current Ancient Egypt and Archaeology galleries. The Daily Life section of Ancient Egypt is now closed and the Death and the Afterlife section of Ancient Egypt and Archaeology will close on 20 Feb 2012. You can see many of the removed objects in our temporary exhibition Unearthed: Ancient Egypt, until 6 Sep 2012.

To get a taster for some of the things you'll come across, have a look at our amazing facts guide below.
