Scott’s Last Expedition exhibition

A new exhibition has opened at the Natural History Museum, marking the centenary of Scott reaching the South Pole and his tragic death. 

The exhibition opened on 20th January and will last until September, exploring the captivating story of Captain Robert Falcon Scott’s last expedition to Antarctica in 1910-1913.

The exhibition features rare artefacts used by Scott’s team and scientific specimans, appearing together for the first time, alongside a life-sized representation of Scott’s hut that survives in Antarctica. The exhibition’s focus is on the everyday stories and activities of the people who took part, their scientific work and the unforgettable human endurance.
