At the Disability Friendly Opening, the museum will be open exclusively for families with children with sensory sensitivities. This event is aimed at children with special educational needs who usually find visiting museums overwhelming due to conditions that affect their sensory processing and/or have a developmental disability.

Join the Museum of Zoology at two pop up events in the Grand Arcade. We'll be outside the entrance to John Lewis with crafts, specimens and more - Thurs 15 August and Tues 20 August 11am to 1pm. 

Plus follow the Grand Safari Trail as it takes you around 15 magnificent brick sculptures in the Grand Arcade - then see the real animal skeletons in the Museum of Zoology!
