Camouflage, shadows, conjuring tricks, robots... all fake. Or maybe not? This new interactive exhibition Imitation, the art of faking it examines many different types of imitation, in nature, technology and human behaviour.

All over the world, imitation is part of everyday life. From babyhood onward, we have to imitate in order to survive: to learn language, behaviour, gestures and vocational skills.

Come along to experience the world of imitation at first hand: see if you can tell real from fake!
Imitation, the art of faking it opens on 27 September 2013.
