Join us for a curator-led talk exploring the fascinating world of our Natural Science collections. From plants, insects, and snails to birds, mammals, and fossils, these specimens tell the story of our natural world - past and present.
Learn why these collections are so important to nature conservation and how they help us understand changes in species and ecosystems over time. Discover how ongoing research continues to expand our knowledge, with new material added to the collections every year.
This talk reveals that museum collections are far from dusty drawers of the past. They’re dynamic, living resources driving biodiversity research today.
What to know:
-This talk is suitable for those aged 10+.
-This event is free but booking is required.
-This talk is part of NI Science Festival.
