Starting on International Women's Day, Saturday 8th March 2025 - discover the research projects of twenty women scientists in zoology. Labels throughout the Museum will introduce you to the women working in science today and explain the amazing research work that they are undertaking in the Department of Zoology. 

Have you ever wanted to chat with an animal? Now you can chat with 13 of our specimens with our AI experiment.

'Animals don’t do sexual identity; they just do sex.’

From same-sex sexual behaviour in giraffes and penguins to the scientists working in the field of zoology. How do the labels and categories we give animals affect the way we interact with the natural world?

Come along to the Museum for a day of crafts and specimen handling in celebration of World Lizard Day! Handle a turtle shell, lizard & crocodile skulls and then create your own reptile with our craft activity in the Museum's Discovery Room (where you can also see all our collection of over 200 taxidermy British Birds!)

Get ready to roar like a lion and move like a giraffe as we go on safari around the Museum of Zoology, then hear stories and make a finger puppet to take home with you.
