Based on her new book 'Ghosts Behind Glass', author Dolly Jørgensen takes you with her to encounter extinct species in museums worldwide.

From the tiniest squeak to the biggest roar, discover animal sounds with stories and play.

What noise does a pig make? How about a chicken? Or a puffin? Go on an animal sound safari around the Museum and bring your voice to the specimens. Hear stories and make your own 'noisy' creature to take home with you.

FREE guided tour of the Museum. Join our expert guide as we uncover fascinating facts about the Museum, from our fin whale to the dodo and the beetles collected by Charles Darwin. 

Join us after hours as we explore the creatures of the deep. Follow a trail created by our Young Zoologists Club, find out about amazing marine animals, and see the galleries in a new, under-the-sea light.

The evening starts at 4.30pm with last entry at 7pm. Bring your torch!
