- a big museum in London, with displays about plants, animals, insects, fossils (= animals and plants preserved in rock) and minerals. The museum's collections are so large that the discovery of previously unknown insects in the collections is not uncommon. It was originally part of the British Museum but has been independently run since 1963.
