In space, no one can hear you scream. Not so at the National History Museum, where screams will be very much heard should a face-hugger pop out from the egg now on display opposite the entrance to the blockbuster exhibition, Space: Could Life Exist Beyond Earth?
Yes, this egg is the famous one from the Alien franchise and most particularly the excellent new TV series Alien: Earth which brings the blood-soaked action from the films down to our planet. Inside this kind of egg usually lurks a face-hugger alien, which clings to the nearest human face, inserts an embryo into their chest cavity, which in turn then bursts free of its host to become the feared Xenomorph. Hopefully, this one at the Museum is simply a replica.
