Our summer exhibition shines a light on how each of us connects with nature. It displays objects borrowed from members of the public that tell a story about their relationship with nature. Together the exhibition creates a collective snapshot of how we think about nature in the 21st century, and explores how the health of our planet is intricately bound up with the behaviours and values of the people who inhabit it.

Our interactions with nature are full of adaptations and modifications, from how we manipulate the world around us to the evolutionary process itself. But how should we adapt to the environmental challenges we face today?
Join us for a day of in-depth discussions – with perspectives from history, contemporary science and society – as we approach the end of our year-long exploration into our relationship with nature.
