Travel log: 100 years from now, humans have completely altered the landscape. Trees become buildings; cities merge with organic living materials. A love story between biology and technology.
Travel to big future
Next Nature Future Travels is the international travel agency taking you on a voyage to the distant future. Jump on board the VR Time Machine, an experience that combines scientific knowledge, philosophy, and imagination to transform you into a digital avatar. VR glasses take you to a hyper-realistic digital environment, while a carousel-like structure sends you floating through air. In the evocative location of the Evoluon, the trip will take you to a journey forward in time, to the end of the Earth, the solar system, and the beginning of everything. Are you ready?

What other humans said

—Rob van Hattum, Chief Science Officer NEMO Science Museum
Travel log: 1,000,000 years from now, a meteorite hits the Earth. A period of cooling follows. A new ice age.
