Well, while we're on the subject of natural history museums, why not have a listing? After all, on rainy winters days you won't necessarily be able to find many live animals or flowers.
Of course, there is
the NHM -
Natural History Museum (strictly speaking, the British Museum (Natural History)!) but, as with the other mail, if your south of the River and want something more manageable, the Horniman Museum ha some very interesting exhibits:
Horniman Museum visiting us
Elsewhere, universities are worth looking at - they have museums primarily for educating their students or for research but the public are usually welcome.
Certainly at the fairly new Cambridge Zoology Museum:
Libraries & Museums:University Museum of Zoology
They also have a Botany collection and a Geology Museum:
Libraries & Museums:The Sedgwick Museum of Earth Sciences
I think that my favourites are in Glasgow, not just the Hunterian in general

but the smaller Zoology Museum
::Welcome to the Hunterian Museum & Art Gallery::
in th university - not all the animals are stuffed!
Any others worth visiting?
