Who Am I? is all about your favourite subject: you!

This three-part exhibition examines how modern science is transforming our understanding of what it means to be human.

Identity Parade is where you can discover what makes you similar to – yet intriguingly different from – other people.

Human Animal considers why human beings are such special creatures, while Family Tree shows how new genetic techniques can help us uncover more about the relationship we have with all other people, both in the present and in the past.

Try out the exciting interactives that can morph your face, making it look older or younger – and even switch your gender! Or why not search for people who shared your surname 100 years ago and find out where your ancestors might have lived?

You can also use the Find Out More displays to reveal in-depth information on the genetics, brain science and psychology that underpins Who Am I?
