The new scheme includes the development of the central atrium into a dramatic and inviting introductory area. An escalator will carry visitors to the second floor, allowing them to follow a natural circulation downwards through the new exhibition galleries.
A series of six distinct, themed exhibition areas are being developed; two on each of the three main floors. These exhibitions will collectively embrace the main aspects of the earth sciences. Beginning with major processes of the Earth, the scheme will increasingly focus on issues which relate to people and the environment. It will highlight our dependence on the Earth's resources and the need for environmental and ecological responsibility.
