 Museum of Natural History - Alfred Waterhouse - Great Buildings Online
One of the grand Victorian museums of the 19th century, Alfred Waterhouse's Museum of Natural History had roots in designs by Sir Richard Owen, the museum's creator, and an 1864 competition won by Francis Fowke.
The building integrates the romantic and the practical in an eclectic whole: German Romanesque stylistic use of dramatic arches and towers, decorated with a rich sculptural program of terra cotta, and a practical use of structural iron and contemporary mechanical systems.
The museum director provided specimens and Waterhouse developed designs for the terra-cotta ornaments, using living material as models for the embellishment of the walls surrounding the zoological exhibits on the west side of the building and extinct models for the geological section on the east side."
