A prototype of the Rosalind Franklin Mars rover from the European Space Agency is displayed below the skeleton of a blue whale named Hope in the Hintze Hall of the Natural History Museum. The museum’s new exhibition – Space: Could Life Exist Beyond Earth? – will allow visitors to touch and hold real pieces of the moon, Mars and meteorites, as well as see groundbreaking pieces of technology such as this prototype Martian vehicle.
