Our Natural History Gallery first opened in 1901, the design influenced by the Arts and Crafts and Art Nouveau movements of the time. Many of the original showcases remain, packed full of taxidermy, skeletons and specimens preserved in fluid, giving the gallery a unique historic feel. Most of the specimens, including our taxidermy mount of a walrus were collected over 100 years ago during the Victorian and Edwardian periods. This was a time when naturalists and collectors were exploring the globe.

Every Sunday throughout the exhibitions, families are invited to drop-in to the Drawing Studio and gallery spaces to take part in free, creative and fun activities led by our Family Artist-in-Residence, Emily Stapleton-Jefferis.
