Despite not being the largest of museums the use of the space available has been very well done. There's such a wide variety of animals on display and they all look in very good shape. If I did have a constructive criticism it'd be that the lighting could be improved so there's not so much glare as some of the animals were hard to see properly because of that. Aside from that though this was an excellent visit and I would highly recommend it especially for young children as our daughter was absolutely mesmerized by the animals on display.
The Natural History Museum at Tring, once the private collection of the eccentric Walter Rothschild, is now home to one of the UK’s most extensive displays of taxidermied animals - over 4,900 specimens, including rare and extinct species. Walking through the galleries was a strange mix of awe and sadness. On one hand, it was fascinating to see creatures I’ll never encounter in the wild. But at the same time, seeing so many stuffed animals, especially knowing the context of mass collecting in that era, made me pause. It stirred questions about how we preserve nature, what we’ve lost, and what it means to display these lives frozen in time. The museum itself is full of curiosities - hybrids, animals with unusual colouration, and six themed galleries to explore. It’s popular with families, which means it can be a bit chaotic if you’re hoping for quiet reflection or photos. Still, entry is free, and despite the emotional complexity of the visit, I left feeling grateful for the chance to witness such a unique collection. It definitely gave me a lot to think about.
Don't take kids, take an adult who isnt going to moan and not appreciate this place!nnI might just be annoyed that after the hour in this spectacular museum my kids wouldn't go for a walk in the wonderful Tring park nextdoor.. Great place - some of the aquatic exhibits look like plastic or Papier mache - but they are likely 100+ years old. The animals are uncanny and the dogs are really creepy. There are also bugs and butterflies and scarabs - it's brilliant - go!nnAnd the cafe has good cake - they also have a picnic area so being a sandwixh to save money if things are tight.
An impromptu visit for a rainy day! We did not queue for long but was recommended by staff to book in future - the footfall was very busy so I understand why. An interesting museum with plenty to see. Clearly appealing for children but also very enjoyable for adults too. A small gift shop with a lovely offering. Will certainly return.
Amazing museum run by helpful staff with cafe and toilets. Car parking available nearby. Definitely recommend visiting, tickets available online and donations can be given online or in the museum. Nice to get very close to the exhibits and learn about the history. Wasn't too busy on the weekend.
