After Hours at Natural History Museum invites you to catch up with the latest exhibitions, enjoy a drink or two and take part in special late night events. Taking place on the last Friday of every month (except December), the After Hours sessions are the perfect opportunity to see exhibitions that you are otherwise too busy to catch during the day.

After Hours
Natural History Museum invites you into the famous galleries and exhibition hall for a monthly event. Catch the latest exhibitions, head to the Red or Blue Bars for a cocktail, enjoy some live jazz or world music in the Central Hall and see the famous fossils in the Dinosaur Gallery.

Special events
The next late night opening is on Friday 25th May 2012, when many of the museum's special exhibitions will stay open late. Visit the Natural History Museum's exhibition on Captain Scott's last expedition to Antarctica in 1910 - 1913, or see the amazing specimens in the Animal Inside Out show. Visiting late night exhibitions is the perfect way to see the latest shows without the hustle and bustle of lots of daytime visitors.
