Gallery of Humankind

Museum of Natural Sciences, Brussels (BE), 2015

An exhibition functions as a showroom for human life, revealing the beauty of the body and evolution in all their scientific complexity.

It’s no wonder I’m a miracle

The human body is a powerful machine – the result of millions of years of evolution. No wonder it’s so miraculous. The exhibition explains various aspects of our amazing species.

Video mapping on models

Human evolution is considered in detail. What distinguishes our evolutionary predecessors from modern humans? What are the revolutionary characteristics of our species? The exhibition also sheds light on how our bodies work, with complex processes such as digestion projected onto models in spectacular fashion. Games let visitors discover how their bodies are built. Are you the same as everybody else?

“The Museum of Natural Sciences shows you human evolution as you’ve never seen it before.”

Pieter van Dooren, De Standaard — 7 May 2015
