Is it back open yet, or are they still fixing the stairs?

i read the other day that it is still closed.

i heard on the radio the other week, that it will be closed for the next 3 years, as they are doing major renovations.

i loved it exactly how it was, i hope they dont change it too much and make it all modern and interactive

WindSock

Yeah, I love the old dusty rotten stuffed animals. 3 years? Thats ages. By then they will have disintegrated :mad:

Nevyn

No they wont' they are perserved.

I know this thread is ancient, but no point making a new one.

Has it reopened yet?? I thought I heard somewhere it was...but their website says otherwise, anyone know for sure?

What are they doing, cloning new animals :mad:

Isn't that just a temp exihibit while they "renovate" the main building, like a subsection of the actual museum, or is there a decent lot there?
have you(or anyone) been there, any good?

WindSock

Yeah it is temporary but most of the best bits are there. It's ok for something to do. Plus there is the rest of the museum in Collins Barracks. Plenty to look at there too.

I haven't been to Collin's Barracks in a while and this is a good excuse - I assume that giant deer is there?


They'd better not make the Natural History Museum all modern, I love the creepy 19th century vibe it had.
