The scientists at the Natural History Museum study the vast natural diversity on Earth, and the processes shaping it. Through fieldwork they collect important data for understanding how nature works.

The museum has approximately 70 scientific researchers in botany, mycology, zoology, geology and paleontology. Here you get to know some of them and how they do their fieldwork.
