Members’ and Benefactors’ Meet the ‘Scary’ Animals

This Halloween, Members and Benefactors are invited to join an exclusive, interactive talk about ‘scary’ animals and folklore linked to our Natural History collection.

Assistant Curator Chris Hughes will conjure crows, magpies, foxes, tawny owls and horse skulls!

On this myth-busting adventure you will learn more about common animals which have traditionally associated with folklore and the unnatural. Can we change your mind about how you feel about them?
