Why it's Wildland

6.0

A landmark museum devoted to animals and the natural world, with the museum’s bronze dinosaur, Fern, standing outside its entrance.

A major natural-history museum rather than a wild landscape: its appeal is the chance to explore the natural world through exhibitions and displays in the heart of South Kensington. It is a better fit for a culture-and-nature day than for visitors seeking open countryside.
