The Natural History Museum has officially opened its doors to its first ever fully immersive cinematic experience, Our Story with David Attenborough.

Created in collaboration with Sir David and the award-winning Open Planet Studios, the brand-new experience combines stunning animations and projections, real-world footage and full 360° immersion as master storyteller Sir David draws on his lifetime of exploration to tell the incredible tale of people and planet.

The 50-minute experience documents the captivating, interwoven tale of ourselves and our planet as never before, starting from Earth’s earliest beginnings. Enthralling visuals of our natural world will bring the Museum’s Jerwood Gallery walls and floor to life as David Attenborough not only explores the impact that we are having on our planet but also takes us to a wonderful future in which we come to work with the Earth rather than against it. 

Sir David said: “In this new immersive experience at the Natural History Museum, we explore two stories – the 4-billion-year epic of the Earth, and our own, relatively brief chapter, the story of humankind. These two stories are not, at this moment, aligned – but they could be. My hope is that anyone visiting the Our Story experience will come to understand how important humanity is in writing the planet’s next chapter.”

Our Story with David Attenborough is now open at the Natural History Museum. Tickets are available until 18 January 2026. For more information, visit www.nhm.ac.uk/visit/exhibitions/our-story-with-david-attenborough.
