Have you ever wondered how our eyes work? Have you questioned how they interpret and define colours? And do our brains interpret colours in the same way? The Natural History Museum's latest exhibition “Colour and Vision” has launched to answer these very questions, with hands-on displays to amuse and bemuse visitors of all ages. As such, we have fallen for this awe-inspiring exhibit.

Here at EJS, we are obsessed with two things - colours and nature. And this exhibition does not disappoint. Guests are encouraged to embark on a 500-million-year journey through the eyes of nature, discovering how colour and vision became synonymous through history. Audiences can learn how the power of sight evolved-from organisms with undeveloped, colour-less, drab visions to fully-functioning spectrums of colour and light.

Additionally, visitors can study how the importance of colour grew amongst all species, big or small. Colour began to define the existence of animals; it was integral in their lives, defining their predation, mating and self protection.
