Forget your lists of kings and queens – this is a new way of exploring the past.

You will journey around the world in five categories of discovery. The arts explores creativity from cave paintings to pop art. Conflict moves from natural disasters like Pompeii, via Viking invasions, to disputes such as the Boston Tea Party. Equality brings to life the struggles of slaves and suffragettes. Exploration depicts discoveries and inventions that have changed our world, and Transport moves through railways and seafaring to flight.

As you explore through the Grand Arcade, approximately 40 models will be on display across the three floors.
