Our Vision The Museum’s purpose is to challenge the way people think about the natural world – its past, present and future. We aim to stimulate public debate about humanity’s future and equip our audiences at every level with an understanding of science. That purpose has never been more important or more urgent. Species and ecosystems are being destroyed faster than we can describe them or understand their significance. The very resources on which modern society relies are under threat.
We will use the unique combination of our collection, expertise and public reach to engage people with three big narratives that together underpin an understanding of the natural world an our place in it: Origins and evolution The 4.5 billion year history of our solar system, the Earth and life. Diversity of life Today’s natural diversity across species, habitats and ecosystems Sustainable futures The future of the natural systems on which our society depends
