A special five-minute experience, presented by renowned storyteller Sir David Attenborough, began playing today at Outernet London, on Sir David’s 100th birthday. It has been uniquely created for Outernet drawing from the Natural History Museum’s fifty-minute and first-ever immersive experience, Our Story with David Attenborough, which opened its doors in the Museum’s Jerwood Gallery in June 2025.
Created in collaboration with Sir David, the award-winning production team at Open Planet Studios and the Natural History Museum, the spectacle combines scientifically accurate animation and enthralling real-world footage as Sir David explores the complex relationship between people and planet.
On the first opening of the experience at the Museum, Sir David said: “In this immersive experience, we explore two stories – the 4-billion-year epic of the Earth, and our own, relatively brief chapter, the story of humankind. These two stories are not, at this moment, aligned – but they could be. My hope is that anyone visiting the Our Story experience will come to understand how important humanity is in writing the planet’s next chapter.”
Join Sir David as he documents the enthralling story of humanity and explores ways in which we can work with the Earth rather than against it, before presenting a possible vision of London in the very near future in which people and nature thrive both successfully and in tandem. The experience is accompanied by an original score by Tony Award- and Olivier Award-nominated composer, Nick Powell.
