When you step inside the Museum of Natural History, you may not know about the important work that is happening behind closed doors.
The Museum’s reference collection is used by many researchers to help identify their findings from fieldwork, and create new research findings.
Here’s Dr Chris Stimpson, who uses the Museum’s collections to help identify small bones he has collected from ancient Vietnamese caves. His work, and our collections, help him work out the impact humans have had over thousands of years.
Watch the video to find out more about the important work going on behind the scenes at the Museum of Natural History.
