BBC Earth to Set Up Museum Exhibition

LONDON: BBC Earth has teamed up with Global Experience Solutions to create a new museum exhibition that will feature select content from BBC productions such as Blue Planet, Planet Earth and Life.

The exhibit, BBC Earth Explorers, will make a five-year tour across the U.S. It will feature some of BBC Earth’s best footage from the BBC Natural History Unit. At launch, the exhibition will focus on bringing visitors the story behind the hit series Life and will regularly be updated to bring new stories from behind the scenes of other BBC Earth landmark shows.

“BBC Earth Explorers is an exciting new way for BBC Earth to engage our audience with natural history in new spaces,” said Amanda Hill, director of BBC Earth. “This partnership with GES is a landmark new venture for BBC Earth, and we’re looking forward to the launch of our first major museum exhibition.”

“BBC productions have inspired millions of viewers across the globe, and we are thrilled to be a part of an equally inspiring exhibition,” added Eddie Newquist, the chief creative officer for GES. “Our goal is to ignite a sense of scientific discovery and awe by bringing to life some of the environments encountered by BBC production teams, allowing visitors to experience what it’s like to be a real-life Earth explorer themselves.”

“We’re thrilled to be working with GES to create an immersive, entertaining exhibition which will take fans behind the scenes of their favorite BBC series,” commented Paula Al-Lach, the head of exhibitions and events at BBC Worldwide.
