Delve into the archives of James Lovelock
Opening Wednesday 9 April
Our latest exhibition opens next week exploring one of Britain's most important living scientists and inventors, James Lovelock.

James Lovelock's career has spanned scientific fields as diverse as medicine, environmental science, atmospheric chemistry and space exploration. He is most famous for formulating the Gaia hypothesis, the idea that Earth is a self-regulating system, which has profoundly shaped how environmental scientists view issues such as climate change and loss of biodiversity.

Featuring previously unseen materials acquired by the Science Museum in 2012, the exhibition gives a unique insight into Lovelock's creative mind, personality and unconventional ideas.
