A Night Amongst Skeleton Specimens
On October 31, the Natural History Museum will be closed to the public during the day, setting the stage for an exclusive Halloween party like no other.

For those feeling especially brave, a behind-the-scenes tour of the spirit collections in the Tank Room is available. Here, guests will get a glimpse at the jars and tanks filled with preserved creatures from around the world, including the impressive eight-metre-long giant squid known as Archie. This rare opportunity to peek behind the curtain adds an extra layer of intrigue to the night’s festivities.
After exploring the museum’s collections, guests will have the chance to join Sophie the Stegosaurus skeleton for a silent disco in Earth Hall. Equipped with wireless headsets, partygoers will dance the night away to battling DJs playing a mix of club classics and new tracks. This unique experience promises to be a highlight of the evening, allowing guests to boogie down with the dinosaurs in a truly unforgettable setting.
