The Natural History Museum

On Friday, Mike and I headed over to the Natural History Museum for the day. We'd heard it was a must see and it was free, so we figured we should check it out before we left London. 

The museum building itself was absolutely gorgeous. 


 They had a vast collection of ancient fossils and skeletons.

Mike and I both thought this tiger was really cute, until we saw that it was eating a half-masticated antelope 


The museum was really incredible and lots of fun, well worth a visit.
