Natural History Museum expands art print collection with MADE.com with new ‘untamed’ additions

These bold new additions that feature beautiful illustrations of a jaguar, tiger, giraffe and Cape mountain zebra have all been taken from the Museum’s vast artwork collection and archives.

Maxine Lister, Head of Licensing, Natural History Museum, says: “We’re delighted to be working once again with the team at MADE.com and are excited to see these striking new prints added into the wider range.”  

Ruth Wassermann, Design Director at MADE.com, says: “The Natural History Museum prints are timeless classics and as such are at home in so many different types of spaces, especially as we try to connect our homes to the natural world more these days. The existing works have really resonated with our customers and we're excited to be extending the collection with this new series of wild animals!” 

All four additional designs are available now in a range of formats at www.MADE.com.
