It follows action throughout the week in London and Cambridge
Children and families have held a die-in at the Science Museum in an Extinction Rebellion protest against air pollution.
Protesters, including children as young as two, staged the peaceful demonstration at the Making The Modern World gallery in the central London museum on Thursday morning.
The group lay on the floor for 20 minutes wearing bespoke gas masks reading Enough Is Enough On Air Pollution on and holding signs referencing the impact on children's health including poor lung development.
Other signs quoted the Government's figures on air pollution in London, which found there are around 9,400 excess deaths in the capital due to long term exposure to particulates and harmful gasses.
Extinction Rebellion has said the Science Museum was chosen as the target of the demonstration because of its relationship with fossil fuel company sponsors including BP.
