On Wednesday 9 November‚ the Science Museum is opening a new exhibition based on the popular BBC THREE programme, Honey We're Killing the Kids.
Honey We're Killing the Kids examines the lifestyles of unhealthy children and their families and uses new imaging technology to predict how the children would look as adults if they continue with their current lifestyles.
The Science Museum exhibition will display these images via video projection and take a look at some of the issues surrounding children's health and wellbeing.
Stuart Murphy‚ Controller of BBC THREE, said: "We are absolutely delighted that the Science Museum has created this linked exhibition with our highly successful series Honey We're Killing the Kids.
"BBC THREE has a significant reputation for parenting programmes‚ a hugely popular genre which it pioneered.
"We hope that this exhibition is the beginning of a longer-term relationship between the museum and the channel.
"By creating such events‚ the Science Museum offers audiences a deeper‚ richer experience that goes beyond the TV."
The second series of Honey We're Killing The Kids is currently in production for transmission on BBC THREE early next year.
The first series is shortly to be repeated on BBC ONE.
Jo Quinton-Tulloch‚ Head of Exhibitions at the Science Museum‚ said: "We are very excited to be teaming up with BBC THREE for this exhibition.
"This use of innovative technology to highlight an issue that is easily overlooked is exactly in keeping with the Science Museum's mission to bring science to life‚ and to make it thought-provoking."
