Gardens Audio Guide (Natural History Museum)

Our audio guide brings to life the stories of our gardens, connecting you with the nature that surrounds you in our urban oasis. Alongside described navigation, you’ll hear interviews not only with our scientists but with youth climate activists and horticultural experts too. It also features spoken word poetry created by talented young people.
