Helsinki, Finland
Natural History Museum, Helsinki

The wonders of the world need not be limited to manmade monuments, the incredible diversity and creativity of nature is on full display here at Finland’s natural history museum.

Travel through time as The History of Life whizzes you back to a time when dinosaurs roamed the Earth and evolution first began, while the World Nature exhibit will let you travel the globe instead, bringing you through dry African Savannahs, the deep blue sea, a lush Australian eucalyptus forest, the freezing white arctic and so much more. Ever wonder what distinguishes us from the slimy slugs that crawl across our gardens? The Story of Bones outlines the crucial role that vertebrae have played in nature. There’s even an exhibit that shows that life can not only survive, but thrive, in all four of Finland’s radically different seasons. If the thought of woolly mammoths, wolverines, and towering dinosaurs excite you, then the natural museum is sure to be a hit. After all, what could be more fascinating than learning about the vast and diverse world we call our home?
