Bill Nighy narrates this fascinating look at one of the greatest and most popular museums in the world – the Natural History Museum, London. We meet the teams keeping it up and running and the scientists working behind the scenes uncovering incredible discoveries about our natural world; from billion-year-old meteorites and dinosaur fossils from Antarctica to the wildlife in the Museum’s own garden. They’re on a mission to save our planet and travel the world from Morocco to Scotland and even the banks of the Thames to learn more about the natural world in all its glory.

In this new series we go behind the doors of one of the greatest museums in the world, London’s Natural History Museum. Every year over 5 million visitors come to see its incredible collection: from extraordinary dinosaurs to giant whales, rare fossils to space rocks as old as the solar system itself, all looked after by its passionate staff.
But visitors see only a fraction of the staggering 80 million items in the collection. Now our cameras have been allowed not just front of house but also behind the scenes, to capture the incredible specimens, witness the ground-breaking scientific research and to reveal the unique and rare pieces too valuable to exhibit.
