Annual review

Each year we publish an Annual Review highlighting our activity and achievements.

Review 24

The Review 24 publication highlights our activity and achievements from the past year.

This year’s Review is themed around discovery, which sits at the core of our work. It’s our job to encourage and enable audiences to make discoveries through our collections and programmes and for us to highlight remarkable discoveries from the past. In addition, our people continue to uncover exciting new discoveries through their varied research, fieldwork and knowledge-sharing partnerships. 

Our Annual Review is presented in a digital-only format, which not only helps us to reduce our carbon footprint but also allows you to explore our work over the past 12 months in richer detail.
