About the studio

The new studio will be a free public space dedicated to discussion and discovery. It will be a unique resource, enabling people to get involved both in the studio and online via interactive webcasts.

Together with the BBC, we are developing a comprehensive vision of what the Studio will be. At the pace technology advances this is no small task, but it is intended that the David Attenborough Studio will provide a venue for public engagement that:

• creates an immersive, audio-visual experience capable of transporting our visitor to the middle of a rainforest canopy, a barren desert landscape or even underwater to a coral reef
• celebrates the contribution Sir David Attenborough has made to natural history - inspiring future generations and actively developing new talent
• provides access to a searchable audio-visual archive of the natural world for public enjoyment, including links to the Museum’s collections and the research work based on them
• allows the Museum to provide a daily programme of live webcasts and other events bringing scientists and the public together in interactive discussions on topics of contemporary relevance.

The studio will continue our journey of discovery, which for so many of us began with watching Sir David reveal the wonders of life on our planet. Together we will explore the Earth’s treasures and search for ways to conserve them. The David Attenborough Studio can help to turn curiosity and concern into positive action.
