Natural History Museum Greeting Card

Natural History Museum Greeting Card

Natural History Museum greeting card is from North East artist Emily Ward's beautiful range of blank art cards. This greeting card has been created from original artwork by Emily.

In the foreground, wildflowers spread across the greeting card in vibrant bursts of yellow, pink, and purple. These lively patches of colour add a sense of movement and softness, providing a vivid contrast to the solid architecture behind them. The playful energy of the flowers brings life to the scene, balancing the strength of the building’s form.

Rising behind the flowers, the Natural History Museum stands as a symbol of history and beauty. Emily emphasizes its design with warm, earthy tones that highlight the twin towers, large arches, and intricate windows. Above the museum, the sky swirls with soft blues and purples, dotted with delicate flecks of colour.

Natural History Museum

The Natural History Museum in London was established in the late 19th century to house Britain’s growing collection of natural specimens, which had previously been part of the British Museum. Designed by architect Alfred Waterhouse and completed in 1881, the building is a masterpiece of Romanesque Revival architecture, featuring grand arches, intricate terracotta detailing, and twin towers. Its construction marked a significant moment in making scientific knowledge and natural history accessible to the public, reflecting the Victorian era’s passion for exploration and discovery.

Today, the museum is a global leader in natural history research and education, attracting millions of visitors each year. It holds millions of specimens, including famous dinosaur skeletons, rare minerals, and extensive botanical collections. Beyond its role as a museum, it serves as a vital centre for scientific study, contributing to conservation efforts and advancing understanding of biodiversity.
