Over 300 scientists based at the Museum tackle important global challenges, spanning mineral scarcity, food security and biodiversity loss. The Museum is globally renowned for excellence in science and research and championing digital capacity and innovation.

As part of this development, the Museum will be moving over a third of its 80 million specimens and Library and Archive collections from its four sites (in London, Hertfordshire and Yorkshire) to the new site, plus undertaking substantial internal moves and moves of specialist laboratory equipment.

The physical moves are currently scheduled to take place from 2028, with an extensive programme of preparation having already commenced, which includes audit, documentation, stabilisation and rehousing, curation, and packing, among other activities.
