Okay Pokémon fans — this one’s huge. Starting January 26th, 2026, the Natural History Museum in London is turning part of its space into a Pokémon pop-up shop, and it’s going to be the place to visit next year.
It runs until March 22nd, 2026, and it’s the first time Pokémon has ever teamed up with a UK museum. If you love Pokémon, fossils, or just cool collaborations, you’re going to want to plan a trip for this one.
What’s the Pokémon x Natural History Museum Pop-Up About?
The pop-up is all about celebrating evolution — in both Pokémon and the natural world. The museum’s Cranbourne Boutique will be completely transformed into a themed store packed with Pokémon designs, museum-style displays, and plenty of spots for photos.
Entry is free, but you’ll need to book a timed ticket in advance (tickets go live in October 2025 & again in November for those of you who missed out! ). If you can’t make it to London, don’t worry — some of the merch will also be available online through the Natural History Museum Shop and Pokémon Center UK. Even better, all profits go back into the museum’s conservation and research projects.
What Can You Buy There?
Here’s what’s officially confirmed:
Exclusive plushies (including an adorable Pikachu hugging the museum building!)
What Else Could Be There? (Based on Speculations)
- Enamel pins featuring prehistoric Pokémon like Aerodactyl, Omanyte, or Kabuto.
- Pokémon x Natural History Museum tote bags
- Art prints and posters showing Pokémon fossils next to real-life fossils.
We don’t know all the details yet, but fans are already speculating (and dreaming big).
Will you be lining up to catch these exclusive Pokémon treasures at the Natural History Museum pop-up in 2026?
