The Natural History Museum's online Picture Library offer a comprehensive range of natural history images from the Museum's work and vast collections, which includes an incredible assortment of gems, minerals, mammal, reptile, fish, bird, plant and insect specimens gathered from around the world. This diverse library features unrivalled dinosaur pictures, images of human evolution, pictures of extinct species and remarkable fossil remains. They have extraordinary magnified views of life as seen through a microscope plus a collection of travel pictures taken as part of our scientists' fieldwork across the globe.
