Explore our Natural Science collection with our curators to discover amazing animals.

This week hosts World Lion day, World Elephant Day and World Orangutan Day - and to recognise these important, vulnerable animals, our Natural Science Curators are coming together to look at all things animals.

After your tour of our collection, make and animal mask or turtle shell backpack out of card, paper, string and googly eyes.

Sensory quiet space available during the workshops - a tour of the site also included in the workshops.
