Natural History Museum

Come along for a group draw and a friendly catch-up at the Natural History Museum.We’ll meet at the Garden Kitchen Café, connected to the iconic Natural History Museum, London. After a relaxed cuppa and introductions, we’ll head into the museum together to draw.The Natural History Museum is inspiring and visually rich, from its architecture and magnificent ceilings to its world-famous collections of animals, fossils, and natural wonders. You’re free to explore and draw whatever captures your interest, at your own pace.Some of the group will be heading to the Cadogan Gallery within the museum, a beautiful and quieter area featuring fascinating natural objects and specimens. Highlights include delicately carved shells, penguin eggs, and the much-loved Guy the Gorilla, making it a wonderful spot if you enjoy detailed observational drawing. If you’d like to sketch near others who are also drawing, this is a great area to gather.Please note: The Museum has a limited number of chairs available to hire. You’re welcome to request one directly from the museum, but availability is not guaranteed, and it’s up to you to return it afterward.At 2:00 PM, we’ll meet back at the café (optional) for a relaxed catch-up and a chance to share a peek at each other’s sketchbooks.Everyone is welcome, beginners, professionals, and anyone in between. Bring your sketchbook, your favourite materials, and your curiosity.
