London’s Natural History Museum has turned one of its shops into a nostalgic replica of the store featured in 1993 film Jurassic Park.
Celebrating 30 years since the movie first hit screens, the institution has teamed up with Universal Pictures and Amblin Entertainment to create the Jurassic Park-inspired retail experience.
The shop is selling a range of exclusive and entertaining products such as toys, homeware and apparel, all inspired by Jurassic Park.
Highlights include a classic Jurassic Park logo t-shirt, Lego sets, limited edition posters and prints, replica number plates, pin badges and key rings.
“The museum is home to world-famous dinosaurs so there couldn’t be a more appropriate location for this store,” said Sam Barnes, the Natural History Museum‘s retail commercial manager.
“Our fantastic range of toys will inspire young minds to take interest in the fascinating world of natural history, while our homeware and prints will make great gifts for adults who grew up with this nostalgic treasure of a film.”
Guests will get to enter via the towering ‘Jurassic Park’ gates, see a T-Rex through the window, and take a selfie with a dinosaur.
“It’s a privilege to be celebrating 30 years of Jurassic Park,” said Paul Bufton, VP EMEA for Universal’s products and experiences division.

The replica shop is open until September 2023. From 31 March, the Natural History Museum will display the full cast of a skeleton of a titanosaur, the most complete gigantic dinosaur ever discovered.
