Can a video game help us reconnect with the natural world around us?
In short: The Natural History Museum explores Alba: A Wildlife Adventure, an open-world game focused on nature appreciation. This session highlights how digital experiences can foster a deeper relationship with the environment and why the institution is turning to new media to share its scientific mission.
Alba: A Wildlife Adventure is a critically-acclaimed game set on a Mediterranean island that emphasizes the importance of nature. By featuring this title, the Natural History Museum aims to inspire players to rethink their connection to the wild, mirroring the museum's own goal of connecting people to nature through stories and education.
While the museum houses over 80 million objects—ranging from dinosaur bones and meteorites to a giant squid—it is currently leveraging digital platforms to bring its collections to the public. This initiative serves as a reminder of the institution's ongoing work, which continues despite the financial challenges posed by recent closures.
