A little known magical place - just 30 miles from London.
The remarkable collections in the galleries of the Natural History Museum at Tring were once the private passion of its founder, Lionel Walter, 2nd Baron Rothschild. The Rothschild family gifted the entire Museum and its collections to the nation in 1937.
Discover the fascinating range of animals collected by Lionel Walter Rothschild in the beautiful Victorian Museum. It is home to the world-class research and collections of the Natural History Museum's Bird Group.
Entry to the Museum is free!
Open
Monday to Saturday 10.00-17.00
Sunday 14.00-17.00
The Museum is open every day except 24-26 December.
Walter himself was a remarkable character. As well as collecting many thousands of mounted animals, he kept an astonishing variety of live animals in the grounds around the Museum and in Tring Park. He even used zebras to draw his carriage.
