Best museums in London

There are three main and biggest museums in London that are situated very centrally and one by one: Victoria and Albert Museum, Science Museum, and and Natural History Museum.

All museums and galleries are free. Sometimes you just need to make an online application/check-in. I think this is a special program for stimulation and inspiration for people to come here, to study, and to be part of it.

Science Museum, London

This museum was not on my list to visit during the trip, but as it was raining and it was very close to the Natural History Museum and Victoria and Albert Museum I decided to come.

And I liked it. I have never been to such museums and have never seen or experienced something similar to it. This museum as it is officially written on the museum’s website will truly ignite your curiosity, encourage scientific endevearour, and spark your imagination. The most eye-catching and powerful in my opinion is an exhibition called “Who am I?”. It is dedicated to experience and understanding who you are. Very creative, forward-thinking, and practical.

Natural History Museum, London

It was my dream to go there and to visit the famous main hall with dinosaur skeletons.

There were a lot of people, literally, I felt like in a tube or at a train station during rush hour. But it was worth it. The museum is huge and impressive. If you are in London, find time to go there with kids if you have or without if you do not have as I do, but recommend visiting. The building itself is gorgeous and monumental.
