Night Safari with MasterCard: Festive Freeze at Natural History Museum and Darwin Centre

Hear first-hand from scientists about how cold temperatures affect the natural world and see priceless specimens, not usually on display to the general public. Did you know that ice is actually a mineral? Join the Museum scientist to learn more and discover how snowflakes get their unique shape. Also, in keeping with the festive theme, get up close to the most precious metal on Earth - gold. See a fossil reindeer and other mammals found in London during the last Ice Age, and find out about the Museum's contribution to the Frozen Ark project. After the tour is over, you'll be able to stay for a drink in the Central Hall and chat to scientists, giving you the chance to ask plenty of questions.
