The Natural History Museum is opening a new gallery, and it's free to visit

The Natural History Museum is set to unveil the Fixing Our Broken Planet gallery, its first permanent installation since 2016, opening on April 3, 2025. This new exhibit will feature over 250 specimens, including unique items like a Sumatran rhinoceros and whale's earwax, addressing significant planetary issues and potential solutions. Additionally, the museum will revive its youth climate program, Fixing Our Broken Planet: Generation Hope, offering workshops and talks led by young climate advocates. Museum Director Dr. Doug Gurr emphasizes the empowering nature of the research showcased in the gallery, aiming to inspire positive action for the environment.

'Our scientists have been working to find solutions for and from nature. Fixing Our Broken Planet places this research at the heart of the Museum, allowing us to offer visitors positive ways in which they can act for the planet.'

'By combining the inspiring science and advocacy found in the gallery with the voices of Generation Hope changemakers, we're showing that we all have the power to make change.'

'To create effective lasting change for the planet we must inspire all generations. This new free permanent gallery, part funded by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport, will showcase research from the brilliant scientists at the Natural History Museum.'
