In celebration of the 30-year anniversary, since the famous franchise of Jurassic World commenced, a collaboration between Universal Pictures, Amblin Entertainment and the Natural History Museum has curated one of the Museum’s stores into a replica of the shop featured in the original 1993 film.

The museum has confirmed that the shop will be located near Earth Hall in the Museum’s Red Zone, home to the world’s most complete stegosaurus.

‘An awesome range of creative and entertaining toys, homeware gifts and apparel – all inspired by the blockbuster Jurassic Park film,’ is what’s in store for dino-loving visitors.

 An interactive element will also feature as visitors will be able to ‘follow in Dr. Grant’s footsteps to enter through towering Jurassic Park gates, catch a glimpse of a T. rex snarling through the window and snatch a selfie with a dinosaur.’

There will be fun for all the family as fans of the series will be able to recreate familiar scenes from the film franchise inspired by Lego sets also available to buy.

Sam Barnes, Retail Commercial Manager at the Natural History Museum, said: “The iconic Jurassic Park film is very close to our hearts and we cannot wait to host this unique retail experience for fans of all ages to enjoy. The Museum is home to world-famous dinosaurs so there couldn’t be a more appropriate location for this store. 

“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. Don’t forget to take a selfie by the gates!”

And Paul Bufton, Vice President EMEA, Universal Products and Experiences, commented: “It’s a privilege to be celebrating 30 years of Jurassic Park. The Natural History Museum is one of the UK’s most iconic attractions and we couldn’t think of a more fitting collaboration. 

“Together, we’ve created an innovative and engaging retail experience, and we are excited to bring new and fun products to even more fans.”
