What Is Our Story With David Attenborough?
The brand-new feature at the museum, led by the Planet Earth narrator, is going to use state-of-the-art cinematic projection technology combined with real-life footage of the planet to bring the experience to life. Here's what to expect:
- A 50-minute sitting carefully curated by award-winning production team, Open Planet Studios

Sir David Attenborough said: "Humanity is the most influential species on Earth. We depend entirely on this magnificent planet, yet its future is in our hands. My hope is that visitors of all ages will experience our extraordinary journey at the Natural History Museum and come away feeling inspired, informed and most of all, empowered about their integral role in our world. This is our story and we can all play a significant role."
Dr Doug Gurr, Director of the Natural History Museum, adds: "Our Jerwood Gallery has played host to some of our most unique experiences. Our Story with David Attenborough will certainly be one of its most special, as the Gallery will be transformed into an immersive escape where the story of our species will come to life around us.
