🏛️The Museum was designed by a local architect in Tring, and all of the wrought ironwork in the galleries was made by a local company, Grace's Ironmongery who are still in the High Street! #ThrowbackThursday #NHMTring #Tring

🦅Have you seen our new sea eagle flying across gallery one? We installed it when the museum was closed, want to see how? #NHMTring #Eagle

Join us on the 10 September for a bespoke Home Education Morning. We are running two workshops – KS1 Investigating minibeasts and KS2 Explore Pond health. Just a few spaces left - email tring-bookings@nhm.ac.uk to book. https://t.co/GNZIrczPrZ

🐒When we do work to the display cases we need to put specimens somewhere, on this occasion we moved all these primates to gallery 2 so we could clean them whilst we repainted their case! #ThrowbackThursday #NHMTring

🐟️Check out our Chimaeras next time you're in the museum. They're odd looking fish, hence the name - a Chimaera in ancient mythology was a fantastical hybrid creature with the characteristics of several different animals. #NHMTring #Fish

🍰The Curiositea room café has the most delicious cakes, brownies and baked goods. Pop down to sit inside or out during your visit this summer.

🦎It's World Lizard Day! Did you know that Komodo Dragon can move at up to 20 km per hour! These large monitor lizards are really sensitive to environmental change and are currently endangered. Here is our beautiful specimen which you can find in Gallery 6 #NHMTring #Lizard

🦈We have lots of sharks on display and they come in all shapes and sizes, this is our hammerhead. They've been around for about 450 million years are older than dinosaurs and trees, and have survived multiple mass extinctions. Find out more: https://t.co/xwDSTnCJ7T

This is an wallet which was given to us by Manchester Airport Customs. Sadly the wallet is made out of elephant skin. The trade of elephant products is one of many threats to elephants worldwide. #WorldElephantDay

🐸When the museum is closed we do all the things which we can't do when we are open, such as making sure the catalogue records are all up to date. Here are our Herpetology curators working on the amphibians. #Tring # NHMTring #amphibians

It's #WorldLionDay 🦁. Lions are often a symbol of strength and courage but their numbers are dwindling, there is less than 20,000 remaining in Africa. Help by supporting conservation organisations and raising awareness.

Better known as the writer of nonsense verse, Edward Lear, produced this incredible volume of 42 hand coloured lithographs when he was just 1 years old. It features birds from London Zoo.

🐦️Hummingbirds are tiny but collectively they're one of the largest families of birds with over 330 species. They get their name from the rapid beating of their wings as they hover to suck nectar out of flowers. #Birds #NHMTring

Have you been able to spot many insects this summer? Here's some ladybirds in our quad. Ladybirds are a gardener's friend as they eat aphids which can often damage plants. 🐞

🐳🐠🪼Our next SENDsational Morning on the 17 August is ocean themed! Families with neurodiverse children can join us for this quiet morning with a handling activity, trail and craft. Book on our website: https://t.co/DRXYLMQl2J

🌼We are so lucky to have lots of outdoor space at the museum for everyone to enjoy. Here is the @nhm_botany team on a collecting trip last year when our meadow was full of flowering ladies bedstraw. #NHMTring #Botany

Tigers are incredible animals. They often travel 6-12 miles at night searching for their next meal. However their range has reduced by 95% in the last 150 years dramatically reducing their population. #GlobalTigerDay

If you're joining us over the summer take a pit stop in the Curiositea room café for lunch or a delicious cake and refreshment.

🖌️We know, it doesn't look any different. But it does to us, our painting and joinery team have freshened up the Rothschild Room in time for the summer holidays and we think the new paintwork looks fab! Come and visit us, book here: https://t.co/8dzClKtovE #Tring

We have a vacancy in our Housekeeping team. Help us to provide a high standard of cleaning in the galleries, care for our collection and support the Museum. https://t.co/5SSWqsQDKD
