It’s going to be an unforgettable summer at The Nat. Explore five floors of wonder, dive into our brand-new exhibition, check out two new films, sip on a Sunday mimosa during our brand-new brunch, soak in sunset views during Nat at Night every Friday, and get hands-on with nature every weekend.
Our brand-new exhibition, Washed Ashore: Art to Save the Sea, transforms beach trash into art, highlighting the peril of plastic pollution in our oceans. Admire spectacular sculptures of marine creatures crafted from ocean debris and learn how you can help save the sea. Learn more.
