Prince William (L) and Dr. Michael Dixon (C) are shown an interactive display by Blanca Huertas (R), Curator of Butterflies during a visit to The Darwin Centre part of The Natural History Museum in London on September 14, 2009. Prince William joined Sir David Attenborough to open the new state-of-the-art Darwin Centre. The Darwin Centre will be Prince William's first official opening at a museum, and it reflects The Prince's interest in the preservation of the natural world and climate change. The completed Darwin Centre at the Natural History Museum is a unique new public gallery, showing the hidden scientific life of the Museum and houses the Museum's 20 million insect and plant specimens. It is the most significant development at the Museum since its opening in 1881. The Darwin Centre includes a newly built eight-storey 'cocoon', in which visitors can view insect and plant specimens, as well as see scientists and researchers at work.
