It’s a shame my visit to the @natural_history_museum was cut short today with an emergency evacuation... But it was great to see the new Hintze Hall 🐋 instillation, which replaces “Dippy” the diplodocus. 🦕 I’ll have to come back soon to see the @nhm_wpy exhibition. #naturalhistorymuseum #nhm #nhmlondon #london #capital #museum #naturalhistory #whale #giraffe #travel #travelphotography #canon #sandisk #lowepro #peakdesign #worldexplorer #globetrotter #lonelyplanet (at Natural History Museum, London) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuCUKf7ARWe/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1mr21vw9o441u

Oh hello, favorite dinosaurs! I got to see the elegant profile of the Parasaurolophus and the adorable ducklike bill of the Edmontosaurus at the @natural_history_museum in London. I still think Jurassic Parking these two wouldn’t be the worst idea. ❤️ #parasaurolophus #edmontosaurus #naturalhistorymuseumlondon #nhmlondon #dinosaurs #paleontology #dinosaur #fossils #naturalhistory #london #naturalhistorymuseum #museums #sciencemuseum #naturalsciences https://www.instagram.com/p/BrczML_gldG/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=oauczhbkdbkt
