'Hans Sloane was one of the great men of early 18th century London...He became interested in natural history as a boy, recording later in life that he had from his youth 'been very much pleas'd with the study of plants and other parts of Nature'...Sloane had a great opportunity that he seized with both hands, and which altered the course of his life'...and which led ultimately to the establishment of one of the greatest institutions of the them empire. From its beginnings as part of the British Museum to its current site at South Kensington, The Natural History Museum has long been a favourite destination and home to one of the world's finest collections of natural objects - some 70 million animals, plants, minerals, rocks and fossils. Nature's Treasurehouse takes us on a whirlwind journey through the history of The Natural History Museum, the people, the influences, the discoveries and much more. It chronicles the more important milestones in the development of this Museum, and brings to life the times in which they occurred, and the excitement and sometimes controversy which surrounded many of these events.
