The Natural History Museum has launched a virtual tour experience, in which venue hire clients can now walk through the spectacular Hintze Hall, Darwin Centre and Earth Hall for themselves. 3D technology allows clients a unique experience, in which they can scope out the venue pre-booking.
The Natural History Museum is a world-leading science research centre and the most visited natural history museum in Europe. Containing one of the world’s most important scientific collections of over 80 million specimens, the museum has an enormous global reach.
The NHM is also one of London’s most iconic venues, with magnificent architecture and inspiring collections creating the perfect backdrop for many events. The museum played host to corporate events and weddings regularly, before closing its doors due to the spread of COVID-19.
The online tool not only allows clients to see the inside of the museum’s iconic building, but also view spaces from 360-degree angles. Clients can gain inspiration from images of the spaces that have been previously transformed for events from fashion shows to weddings, including details such as bar and dining setups.
Robert Wetherell, Head of Events and Catering at the Natural History Museum, said: “Tools like this can help transform the venue hire industry at this difficult time when the Museum is closed to the public and we cannot showcase this incredible venue. I am thrilled that our clients can now experience the venue for themselves and visualise their own event taking place in one of London’s most unique and iconic venues.”
Although the museum is currently closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the venue hire business within the museum are taking bookings for 2021 for weddings, private parties and conferences. You can take part in the 3D virtual tour by clicking here.
