Within this gallery are interesting simulators enabling visitors to try out on their own what it is like to live through an earthquake or a volcanic eruption. Learn about plate tectonics and what affects climate. It truly is of the earth's finest and most significant galleries of natural history with many hundreds of exhibits.

The museum can be separated into quite a few specific areas; the Life Galleries, Earth Galleries, Wildlife Garden, and Temporary Exhibitions. Inside the Life Galleries are displays dedicated to Dinosaurs, Ecology, Human Biology, Mammals, Primates, the Origin of Species, and Minerals. The Earth Galleries focus on the geological background of the earth and the solar system.

Many are interactive and range between the volcano experience to the dinosaurs exhibition, Creepy-Crawlies exhibition, blue whale, earth's treasury and more. Highlight and themed guided-tours of the Museum start near the Life Galleries entrance. Free maps and information leaflets on admission are available in The Central Hall, which boasts Victorian architecture and a dinosaur skeleton.
