Living Worlds
If you think nature is something far away, think again - we are nature. Living Worlds explores the connections between all living things, including us, and shows how we can all shape the future by the choices we make. There may be lots of bad news stories, but look at the amazing things that still exist. Together we can help create a safe and secure future. Together, lots of tiny actions can change the world.
The gallery reveals a lot of the building's original architecture and includes a huge variety of stuffed animals (including favourites such as the Sperm Whale skeleton, Polar Bear and Tiger), all beautifully displayed with the help of European art and fashion show producer, villa eugénie.
Living Worlds App
We've developed an app to accompany this gallery and just like the gallery, the app is about the natural world and people’s relationships with it.
The app has been developed to appeal to a very wide range of interests so there should be something for everyone!
If you have an Apple iPhone or iPad you can download the Apple version here and for Android smartphones and tablets download the Android version here.
The Living Worlds app contains up to date information that is located on the web. When the university's web server is being updated, the app will not work properly. This happens late at night and early on Saturday mornings.
If you get an 'error 500' message, this will be the cause.
The app will work again once the web server work has been completed.
