Waterhouse's architectural brilliance is on full display in this image. The gallery's high, arched ceilings are adorned with intricate, colorful patterns, while the natural light filtering through the large, stained-glass windows casts a warm, inviting glow over the space. The meticulously detailed watercolour also reveals the gallery's impressive collection of exhibits, including taxidermied animals, geological specimens, and botanical displays. The Natural History Museum, established in 1881, is a testament to the Victorian era's fascination with the natural world.

This watercolour drawing offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and significance of the Natural History Museum during the Victorian era. It serves as a reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage that continues to make this iconic institution a beloved destination for visitors from around the world.
