Ascension Hall

Welcome to the Grave of London

Dr. Maia Marielle, Sapien Story

Ascension Hall is the spoke-hub of the museum. The centre piece of the hall is a repeating extract of the documentary series, Sapien Story, specifically its third episode, Sapien Ascension.

The seminal 9-part series was originally commissioned by this very museum and has served as a staple of classrooms and homes for almost a kilocycle and it is estimated that 70% of the Sapien species is familiar with the series.

Its presenter, Dr. Maia Marielle, remains a household name and her elective death celebration drew a crowd of 800,000 with hundreds of millions more streaming the event.

Next, an extract from her biography, Maia’s Millenium, on the making of Sapien Story.
