Time Out says
The attempts by science to determine human identity are the subject of this exhibition. What makes one person distinct from another, and what influences our sense of who we are is examined through ten displays, covering subjects including DNA fingerprinting and phrenology, and introducing the work of creatives such as artist Claude Cahun and diarist Samuel Pepys. The final room consists of a series of mirrors.
