Museum No 1 Georgian brick building on the east side of the frozen Pond covered in snow - Kew Gardens, London, UK

---

King George the IV proposed a museum be built at Kew in 1820 but it was the director, Sir William Jackson Hooker, who went ahead with the idea. The museum opened in 1848 in the Georgian Brick Building that is now the School of Horticulture. Space was lacking and Decimus Burton was commissioned to design a new building. This building is situated on the East side of the pond and is known as Museum No 1
