Pokémon Evolution Meets Natural History: Exclusive Pop-Up Shop Coming to London
LONDON – A unique collaboration between the Natural History Museum and Pokémon is set to bring a limited-time pop-up shop to the heart of London, offering fans exclusive merchandise and a festivity of the natural world. The shop, located within the Museum’s Cranbourne Boutique, will feature apparel, stationery, a brand-new exclusive plush, and more, all inspired by the intersection of Pokémon evolution and the diversity of life on Earth.
The pop-up arrives as Pokémon continues to captivate audiences globally and the Natural History Museum intensifies its mission to champion biodiversity and planetary health. All profits from purchases made both in-store and online will directly support the Museum’s scientific research and conservation efforts,including work focused on reversing biodiversity loss and fostering a lasting future.
Free tickets will be required to access the pop-up shop, which will be open from January 26 through march 22, 2026. Interested visitors can sign up online to receive notification when tickets become available starting October 1, 2025.
Beyond the pop-up shop, visitors are encouraged to explore the Natural History Museum’s exhibits, which showcase the evolution and diversity of life, drawing parallels to the adaptable nature of Pokémon. Products will also be available to purchase from the online Natural History Museum shop beginning in January 2026.
