The Natural History Museum’s first permanent gallery in nine years will explore the biggest challenges facing Earth and how people can “make change”.
The world-famous London museum announced the Fixing Our Broken Planet project on Tuesday, which will include the new permanent gallery as well as a programme of events and activities aimed at creating environmental advocates.
The new gallery will be free for all visitors when it opens on April 3, and marks the first such space to open at the museum since 2016.
It will feature pioneering research from the museum’s scientists and more than 250 specimens that tell the story of humanity’s relationship with the natural world, including a Sumatran rhinoceros, parasitic worms and whale’s earwax.
