To celebrate the opening of our newest exhibition, Through Ice and Fire, drop in to the Polar Museum for the chance to speak to artist Rowan Huntley all about her art and artistic process. Rowan will be chatting to visitors in the Special Exhibitions Gallery from 12pm - 2pm.
In honour of our beautiful Jacobean building, originally Cambridge’s Free School, we’re exploring everything 17th-century, from historic scientific instruments to the secrets of our building. We’re open all day with family activities, curator talks and behind-the-scenes tours. Forsooth, gentles, it will be a merry meeting!
Programme :
Pick up this free trail from the Garden ticket offices to learn about the folklore and mythology surrounding some of our common British trees. The trail will take you on an adventure around the Botanic Garden to learn stories about the magical properties of trees that have been lost to time. Visit all six boards to learn about each tree and collect a stamp of its magical item. Then head to one of the Ticket Offices to gain the magpies’ golden stamp of ‘mischief’.
Grab your pencils and head to the Botanic Garden to have a go at our self-led Autumn Art Adventure. This little booklet is free to pick up from the Ticket Offices and is full of prompts and ideas to help you observe, imagine, scribble and draw as you make your way around the beautiful Garden at autumn time.
