BEES - National Museums Liverpool, UK - Now Open

The product of 120 million years of evolution and with 20,000 known species, bees are vital to our planet’s ecosystems and essential to human existence. In a unique partnership, World Museum, Liverpool and the award-winning artist and sculptor Wolfgang Buttress present the world premiere of Bees: A Story of Survival, an exhibition like no other. Using cutting-edge audio-visual technology, the exhibition explores the lives of bees from across the globe, transporting audiences into their fascinating world. Led by changing soundscapes, visitors embark on a journey through eight immersive rooms as sights, sounds, and scents bring our world to life from a bee’s perspective. In a hive-like space, audiences will engage with bees, through a live stream directly into the heart of a living colony. Using sounds and smells, audiences follow a trail from trees to wildflower meadows, highlighting the impact of bees as pollinators on the natural world.  A fusion of art, science and technology will bring to life what it is like to see and hear like a bee, before dramatically plunging visitors into a world without bees and the devastating impact that would have on our planet.
