Wild Space is an exciting exhibition that investigates what we mean by the word 'biodiversity'. By looking at different species and the habitats in which they live we can see how vital they are to the well-being of the planet. Wild Space is a 'hands on' exhibition that brings you up close to the amazing world of nature. Visitors can travel through the Antarctic and the Arctic, marvel at our undersea life, take a trip to the African savannah, stroll through the rainforest and finish in the parched desert. Discover the miniature world of insects under video microscopes; explore tunnels that provide a glimpse of life underground and come face-to-face with live insects and spiders that bring the exhibition 'alive'. Wild Space is interactive, hands-on, exciting and fun - an exhibition that allows the body as well as the imagination to 'run wild'.
