Modern World Zone

Modern World Zone

Welcome to the twentieth century – a time of amazing scientific advancement, but also of terrible conflict. How did we get to where we are today?

A lot has changed since 1900! In just over a hundred years, history has seen two world wars, the invention of powered flight (and, less than 50 years later, the first space flight!), the development of global mass media, and more recently the dawn of the age of the internet – connecting us all in an instant, at the touch of a button.

In this Zone, you can explore modern history, from the two World Wars to the era of space exploration. Step onto the Moon with Neil Armstrong, experience life during the Blitz, or visit the Berlin Wall before its demolition.
