The chapter examines the educational goals that natural history museum staff associate with climate change exhibitions and analyzes how different aspects of nature of science are integrated into exhibition content. By focusing on museum professionals’ perspectives alongside an analysis of the exhibitions themselves, the study highlights the pedagogical potential of natural history museums as authentic learning environments that can complement formal biology and climate change education.
