More about this scene
The museum was erected in 1881 as a 21st birthday present for Walter Rothschild by his mother at a cost of £3300. It was designed by William Huckville, and built by the local builders J Honour & Sons; it replaced the original museum in a shed at the bottom of the garden! The museum was opened to the public in 1892, and attracted over 30,000 visitors each year. When Walter Rothschild died in 1939, the collection and museum were passed to the Natural History Museum, in whose possession they remain today.
