A gallery that has remained closed to the public since World War Two is to reopen at London’s Natural History Museum next month.
The gallery, which has remained hidden from view since 1943, will reopen from 16 September, featuring 50 objects which show our evolving relationship with the natural world.
The exhibition, named Nature and Us, is part of a transformation project called NHM150, which aims to open a new or revamped showcase every year until the museum’s 150th anniversary in 2031.
Dr Doug Gurr, director of the NHM, said: “For the first time in over 80 years, visitors will be able to step into this beautiful historic space and explore our changing relationship with the natural world.”
