Clare Street, Bristol. 1899 by Alfred Waterhouse for the Prudential Assurance. French Loire Chateau Revival style. Photo: 02.09.2025. #Bristol #AlfredWaterhouse

A photo of a blank gate column and a decorated gate column, combined into one image. Each column has three large square panels. The decorated column depicts a monkey (top), owl (middle) and fox (bottom).

Spot the difference?
Our iconic building is famous for its decoration and symmetrical design, so why are there some blank columns and only one lodge standing outside the main entrance?

View from a large window showing the back of an old building.

Ever wondered what the Museum looks like behind that iconic frontage?

As the LA team travels between our different collection areas, we see the Waterhouse building #NaturalHistoryMuseum from many different angles — even a glimpse lifts the day!
