Unravel the epic story of birds and discover the secrets to their success.
★★★★ "A beautifully put together journey through the story of our avian pals" Time Out
"A spectacular for all ages" The Guardian
Immerse yourself in our senses-evoking exhibition, as you navigate the world of birds through touch, sound, sight and smell – yes you read that correctly, smell!
Discover the story of birds, from their origins millions of years ago to the threats they now face and the action we can take to protect them. Plus, along the way, delve into the surprising behaviours that have helped them to survive.
Among the stunning backdrop of floor-to-ceiling projections and the tranquil sound of birdsong, this new exhibition will change the way you look at these winged wonders.
The way we live our lives is beginning to affect how birds live theirs. As the effects of a changing world come home to roost, can we find a way to take them under our wing and create a future where they can soar once more?
