EXHIBITION SPACES
Cosmology
Explore the wonders of our cosmos. Our fantastic exhibition, `The Sky Above Us`, explores the night sky and what we can see and know about the universe around us. We`ll locate the various constellations and galaxies that can be seen and learn a bit about the early navigators who used the stars to travel by.
Ecology
As we learn more and more of the impact humans are having on the planet, the more important it becomes that scientists explore how to create a sustainable future not just for humans but for the whole planet.
Biology and medicine
From micro-organisms to the human body, major breakthroughs in biology are offering us unique insights into the great wonders of the tiny world.
For many people their life expectancy is much longer and their quality of life much improved, thanks to the growth of our understanding of medicine. Over a series of exhibits we explore the history of medicine and take a look at some major breakthroughs including the discovery of penicillin and the first heart transplant.
Evolution
For centuries, philosophers and scientists have wrestled with the question of our origins. Where do we come from and how did we get here? Since Darwin proposed his theory of evolution we have had a framework for exploring and understanding our place in this world.
