More information from organisers:

Touch a piece of Mars, wrap your hands around a fragment of the Moon and snap a selfie with the Allende meteorite, which – at 4.567 billion years old – is even older than Earth.

Today, there’s more evidence than ever before to suggest that life could exist beyond Earth. The new exhibition Space at the Natural History Museum explores the big question – are we alone in the universe?

Travel from Earth’s extreme environments out into space, stopping off at asteroids, Mars, the icy moons of Jupiter and Saturn and planets beyond our solar system in the search for life.

Smell planets, touch parts of our solar system, design your own space mission and see what scientists believe could be out there in this out-of-this-world exhibition.
