The Moon: A Natural Wonder

Welcome to the latest exhibition at the Natural History Museum, investigating how our closest satellite affects the natural world around us!

Marvel at our suspended Moon replica from below and above, with our new viewing platform allowing you to see details of the lunar surface from all angles!

On the viewing platform, learn about the phases of the Moon, and how the cycle is important to the natural world.

Then descend to beneath the Moon and learn about how the natural world is influenced by the Moon - how baby turtles use the Moon to return to the sea, how owls and nocturnal creatures use it to navigate, and how legends of wolves howling at the Moon have influenced mankind's storytelling.

And finally, complete your lunar experience by seeing a real piece of Moon rock, brought back by Brickstonauts aboard the LEGGODT 14 Lunar Mission.

The Moon - A Natural Wonder. Now open!
