A Question of Truth
What is your point of view? Everybody has one, including scientists. In A Question of Truth on Level 6, the exhibits challenge broadly-held beliefs about the differences between people and explore how those beliefs influence science.

In A Question of Truth you can:
- Compare different models of our Solar System and discover that there’s more than one correct way to look at the skies...
- Take a quiz to determine if your gender affects your point of view...
- Match faces to voices and explore how stereotypes affect our perceptions of other people...
- Touch actual acupuncture points on a life-size model and learn more about alternative medicine...
- Blend your face with a friend’s in a combination mirror and window, and explore the link between melanin, colour and racism...
- Step inside a box equal in size to the spaces that confined Africans on slave ships. Learn about the attitudes that led to conditions like these...
- Speak up on video to tell us what you think about the exhibition...
- And lots more!
