Opened in April 2025, the free gallery offers evidence-based insights into the planetary emergency and showcases practical solutions for slowing climate change and restoring ecosystems. According to the museum, 82% of visitors reported feeling more motivated to take action to protect the natural world after their visit.
To complement the gallery experience, the museum launched a free online tool, Find Your Climate Action, which helps individuals identify practical steps they can take to contribute positively to the planet. This digital resource extends the museum’s educational impact beyond its physical walls, making climate action accessible to a wider audience.

Doug Gurr, Director of the Natural History Museum, emphasised the role of museums in fostering hope and collective action: “This incredible milestone is a clear sign that there is a real public appetite to engage with addressing the planetary emergency and that cultural institutions have a vital role to play in driving that conversation forward. In a world where climate anxiety, apathy and misinformation can feel overwhelming, Fixing Our Broken Planet shows that people have cause to feel hopeful and to feel part of a larger community taking action for the planet.”
Behind the scenes, the museum’s scientific community continues to contribute to global climate research. Since the gallery’s launch, researchers have published over 165 papers on topics including food security, marine biodiversity, and sustainable resource management.
