Members Preview of Space: Could Life Exist Beyond Earth?
Join us for a private viewing of our new exhibition exploring the possibility of life beyond Earth.
Today, there’s more evidence than ever before to suggest that life could exist beyond Earth. Our newest exhibition explores the big question – are we alone in the universe?
Smell planets, touch parts of our solar system, design your own space mission and see what scientists believe could be out there in our out-of-this-world exhibition.
