Event information

Relax with us after work and explore the Museum's galleries in an atmospheric, evening setting. Find out about our work caring for one of the most important geology collections in the world.
Throughout the evening:
Meet our Museum team at our drop-in stations. Chat with our collections team about their work, and get up close with some of our fossil collections.
Explore hidden treasures from our document archive with our archivist, and chat with our museum-based historian about his research on the Museum in the late 19th and early 20th century.
At 7pm:
Join an informal ‘in-conversation’ with our colleague Jack Ashby, Assistant Director of the University Museum of Zoology, as we discuss his book, Nature's Memory, Behind the Scenes at the World's Natural History Museums. Jack will shine a light on the how natural history museums present 'life as we show it', and so are not as natural as you might think.
Free drink (wine, beer or soft) on arrival.
This event is FREE but booking is essential. Tickets are available from Monday 3rd November.
