Exhibition: The beauty of the Earth
This exhibition is part of the Royal Society's Summer Science Exhibition 2026.
This year, we celebrate the centenary of that great communicator of science in the natural world, Sir David Attenborough FRS. 91TV’s archives document our fascination with living things, from the smallest of pond life to the largest of mammals, and the ecosystems in which they live. An exhibition, but also a birthday gift in leaves, scales, feathers, and fur.
