Site: Tsunami memorial (1 memorial)
SW7, Cromwell Road, Natural History Museum, Darwin Centre garden
The tsunami, this memorial and its unveiling are well covered at the Natural History Museum. The BBC provides some information about, and photographs of many of the dead. Not surprisingly with so many names, there are some discrepancies between the BBC list and that on the memorial. Where possible these are addressed on the individual subject pages. But also there are 12 names on the memorial that the BBC does not have, and 5 that the BBC has but do not appear on the memorial. The BBC list is dated December 2005 so possibly the memorial list, being later, is more accurate.
2024: Ian Visits reported that the gardens around the Museum have been remade into a wildlife garden. We expect this has not changed the Tsunami memorial but can't be sure. Within a few days of posting that Ruth Siddall contacted us: "I can confirm that the Indian Ocean Tsunami Memorial has not been affected by the redesign of the gardens at the NHM. It is located in the same place, but it is now behind the new Nature Activity Centre." Thanks Ruth.
