Mammals Gallery Refresh

In 2024, the Natural History Museum began a phased refresh of its Mammals Gallery, a key part of maintaining one of the world’s most visited museums and ensuring its collections remain accessible for future generations.

The refresh focused on improving visitor circulation, upgrading lighting, and carrying out essential structural works to enhance the long-term resilience of the gallery space. These updates were carefully planned to preserve the character of the existing display while supporting a smoother visitor experience.
