We have joined with Nature Perspectives to offer a new insight into animal life. Thirteen of our specimens are part of our artificial intelligence experiment, where you can chat to them by scanning a QR code next to the specimen, on your phone. You can ask anything you like! From a dodo to a brain coral or a cockroach - what would you like to know? Their answer might surprise you!

Showcasing various painting, printmaking and drawing techniques from the 1600s to today, our fascinating new display brings together large-scale works on paper that reveal the artists’ creativity and the media’s versatility.
Essence and Presence brings together some of the finest examples of early renaissance art in our collection in conversation with works by modern and contemporary artists—from Filippo Lippi, Simone Martini and Domenico Veneziano to William Blake, Fernand Léger, Pablo Picasso, Sylvia Snowden and Stanley Spencer.
At first glance these abstract and expressive modern and contemporary artworks appear a world away from the representative realism of the Italian renaissance, but our fascinating new display sheds light on their shared themes, humanity and simplicity.
Our exciting new display Discovering Dürer brings together a selection of prints by the artist for the first time since a major conservation project of all 374 of Dürer’s prints in our collection was completed. From tears to repairs, transformative specialised treatments have revealed the fascinating past lives of these prints and preserved them for years to come. Their restoration brings to life Dürer’s varied and skilled mark-making and printing techniques.
Ivan Kupala Night is a midsummer celebration of sun and summer in Ukraine. Join us to enjoy a performance by the Malva Voice for Ukraine community choir and immerse yourself in Ukrainian folk songs within the magical setting of the Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology.
This is a pop-up concert, so you don’t need to book tickets in advance, just show up at the Museum on the day. Donations will be invited to support the work of Ukrainian paramedics through Hospitaller Ukraine Aid, or to Malva Voice for Ukraine themselves to help with the development of their community choir.
