Science Museum Gives a Different Take on Climate Change
Climate Week will see the Science Museum explore past and present climate science in its new atmosphere gallery, as well as share ideas for a low-carbon future. Visitors can also take part in a Cockroach Tour of the Science Museum, exploring climate change from an entirely different point of view.
The atmosphere gallery replicates Earth, with land, oceans, ice and a delicate atmosphere which hangs above visitor’s heads. Games allow visitors to interact with this replica, seeing their actions played out before them. Through this interaction the gallery teaches us not only about the science behind climate change but also the key instruments used by scientists in measuring it.
The Cockroach Tour is a little more light-hearted. Visitors are asked to don a cockroach costume and take a journey through the Museum, exploring the impact of man’s scientific and technological developments on the climate from a cockroach’s perspective. What might the insect, one of the most resilient creatures on the planet, think about our human discoveries and inventions, or our obsession with speed, time and burning things?
