<p><a href="https://www.serpentinegalleries.org/whats-on/giuseppe-penone-thoughts-in-the-roots/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Thoughts in the Roots</a>, an exhibition of the work of artist Giuseppe Penone, opens at <strong>Serpentine</strong> <strong>South</strong> this Thursday (3 April &#8211; 7 Sept) and it looks set to cause a buzz. Exploring his interest in the relationship between humans and the natural world, it features works ranging from 1969 to today and we&#8217;re excited to hear it extends beyond the gallery, spilling out into the surrounding park with a range of sculptures. </p>

<p>The <strong>Natural History Museum</strong> in South Kensington opens its first new gallery in a decade on 3 April, which is a great reason to get off the sofa this weekend in Muddy&#8217;s opinion. <a href="https://www.nhm.ac.uk/visit/galleries-and-museum-map/fixing-our-broken-planet.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Fixing Our Broken Planet</a> will showcase more than 200 specimens, from a Sumatran rhino to an ancient cow skull, which together will tell the story of our impact on the natural world and explore the opportunities we have to save it. Inspiring stuff. It&#8217;s FREE entry, but be prepared to queue as it&#8217;s the start of the Easter holidays.</p>
