Events

This exhibition has been created by two graduate students, Ara Goudsmit and Leo Lahijani, from the Departments of Geography and Neuroscience at the University of Cambridge.

‘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?

Storytime for early years! Explore the animal kingdom with stories and play. Discover animals that are awake at night and asleep in the day, and create an owl mask to take home with you.

FREE. Suitable for ages 2-5. All children must be accompanied by an adult.

Uncover the fascinating stories behind our collections, from the beetles of Charles Darwin to the tale of our fin whale.
