Wollaton Hall, Elizabethan country house and natural history museum in Nottingham, England
The limestone building rises across four floors with a central hall, featuring intricate stone carvings and symmetrical towers at each corner.
Robert Smythson designed this residence between 1580 and 1588 for Sir Francis Willoughby, incorporating advanced architectural elements of the period.
The Natural History Museum within the hall presents extensive collections of zoology, geology, and botany specimens across multiple exhibition rooms.
Visitors can access the hall and its exhibitions without entrance fees, with regular opening hours from 10:00 AM to 16:00 PM.
