The way we live in the world we’ve made.

More Information (Derby ONE is not responsible for external websites)

Explore a world of chickens, cats, loo roll, bin bags, precious stones and fine old coats.

Human Natures is a show about people and the ways we live with nature. It’s not a sad story. But it is a little strange…

Humans are the only thing on Earth that can really change nature. We turn oil into plastic, save animals from extinction, dress cats in raincoats, and make mountains of rubbish you can see from space.

All of us touch nature in different ways. Young and old. Rich and poor. Artists, activists, scientists, and politicians. We all want different things.

What does nature mean to you? And how do you want to live with it?

This new show has come about through a big experiment. Five museums across the UK came together to tell a single story. Together, we met people in our local communities, looked at our different collections, and asked what they all had in common. Piece by piece, we built an exhibition that none of us expected when we started out.

Human Natures will visit Derby, Manchester, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Norwich and London between 2025 and 2028
