Watch the Natural History Museum's grounds evolve into a vibrant urban wildlife sanctuary
In short: This timelapse captures 19 months of construction as the Natural History Museum in London transforms its exterior into a new garden space. It offers a rare look at how a major institution creates a dedicated habitat for both local wildlife and museum visitors.
The project documents the extensive site development over a period of 19 months. By repurposing the grounds, the museum aims to establish a sanctuary that bridges the gap between urban infrastructure and natural biodiversity in the center of London.
Beyond the new gardens, the museum remains a massive repository for scientific history, housing over 80 million objects. This collection ranges from ancient dinosaur remains and meteorites to specimens like the giant squid, serving as a hub for both public engagement and ongoing scientific research.
