Description

Discover how the entwined histories of colour and vision have filled the natural world with the vibrant hues and shades we see today.

Follow a 565-million-year journey through the eyes of nature and ucover how vision first evolved and how colour in animals eventually went on to become the difference between life and death.

See nature's spectacular palette and see how a rainbow of pigments and iridescence can be used as a warning, a disguise or even an invitation.

Investigate how different animals see the world, and explore your own relationship with colour, through interactive experiences and immersive films.

More than 350 specimens feature, from beautiful birds to fossils of the first organisms with eyes.

Also, British artist Liz West has produced a light installation, inspired by Newton's colour spectrum and blue morpho butterflies in the Museum's collection.
