Explore our permanent exhibition: Where and when did exploration get its start at National Geographic?

Find out in "National Geographic: Exploration Starts Here," a permanent exhibition showcasing the greatest hits from our long and storied history of discovery. Go on expedition alongside our scientists, adventurers, and storytellers to discover where we've been and how much further we plan to go. Examine artifacts like the camera Robert Peary used at the North Pole and pots recovered from a shipwreck by Jacques-Yves Cousteau. Watch video from the top of Mount Everest and Jane Goodall's research camp. And learn the untold stories behind the discoveries of Machu Picchu and the Titanic.

Come see where exploration starts!

Explore our traveling exhibitions, which change throughout the year. Through October 1, 2017, go beneath the surface and learn about sharks on assignment with Brian Skerry. 

More than a hundred million sharks are killed each year, primarily for their fins. Award-winning National Geographic photographer Brian Skerry has gone to extraordinary lengths to show us why we should not only protect them, but respect and appreciate them as integral species within our ecosystem. The exhibition includes large-scale images, videos, artifacts, models, and interactive experiences—all highlighting Skerry’s passion, skill, and technique.

Learn more about how you can get involved with National Geographic’s work to save sharks, protect our ocean, and inspire action to change our planet.
