PRIDE OF PLACE
Handled with great care and trepidation, the Xenomorph egg sits in pride of place at the Natural History Museum. One of the world’s leading scientific research centres with over 400 scientists working to tackle the biggest challenges facing the world today. The Museum has a vast collection of 80 million objects, spanning 4.5 billion years of life on Earth. From the formation of the solar system to the present day. Amidst thousands of items in the Museum’s South Kensington galleries, this ‘specimen’ is clearly not from our world.
PROF. CAROLINE SMITH
Prof Caroline Smith, planetary scientist at the NHM, says,
“Extraterrestrial life and the secrets of the solar system have forever fascinated humans. It’s a treat to have one of the most iconic depictions of alien life opposite our fantastic exhibition, which reveals the very latest scientific discoveries as it explores the age-old question – are we alone in the universe?”
Starting August 9th and lasting for two weeks, visitors and sci-fi fans can witness the first stage of one of entertainment’s most iconic and terrifying creatures. As this apex predator makes its debut on screen, we might just wonder if we were safer in space.
ARE WE ALONE?
One of the biggest questions asked of science is, Are we alone in the universe? More than ever before, scientists believe that life could exist beyond Earth. The Museum’s first-ever exhibition dedicated to space, Space: Could Life Exist Beyond Earth? explores what we know so far. Visitors can smell planets. Touch real pieces of the Moon and Mars. Design their own space mission and see what scientists believe could be out there in this out-of-this-world exhibition.
This exclusive Disney+ display at the Natural History Museum celebrates the release of FX’s Alien: Earth. Allowing visitors and fans alike to explore if there could be life beyond Earth.
ABOUT THE SERIES
When the mysterious deep space research vessel USCSS Maginot crash-lands on Earth, “Wendy” (Sydney Chandler) and a ragtag group of tactical soldiers make a fateful discovery that puts them face-to-face with the planet’s greatest threat in FX’s “Alien: Earth.”
In the year 2120, the Earth is governed by five corporations: Prodigy, Weyland-Yutani, Lynch, Dynamic and Threshold. In this Corporate Era, cyborgs (humans with both biological and artificial parts) and synthetics (humanoid robots with artificial intelligence) exist alongside humans. But the game is changed when the wunderkind Founder and CEO of Prodigy Corporation unlocks a new technological advancement: hybrids (humanoid robots infused with human consciousness). The first hybrid prototype, named “Wendy”, marks a new dawn in the race for immortality. After Weyland-Yutani’s spaceship collides with Prodigy City, “Wendy” and the other hybrids encounter mysterious life forms more terrifying than anyone could have ever imagined.
