Join BTO Youth for a behind-the-scenes tour of the Grant Museum in London, followed by a guided bird walk at Regents Park.

Join us for an exclusive, under 25s, behind-the-scenes tour of the Grant Museum in London, followed by a guided bird walk at Regents Park. The Grant Museum has around 68,000 zoological specimens. Notable specimens include the world’s rarest skeleton, the quagga; thylacine specimens; dodo bones and fine collection of models including the Blaschka glass models, Ziegler wax models, and Vernon Edwards extinct fish models. The curator will give a tour of the museum's collection and provide a fascinating insight into the daily life of a curator. They will explain more about the collection and answer any questions. 

The session will be followed by an informal lunch at Gordon Square, and a guided bird walk with BTO Youth Representatives Keir and Arjun at Regents Park. 

The event is free, but do bring some money for lunch. Spaces are limited to eight participants, aged 25 and under. 

Please note that this event will go ahead dependent on COVID-19 restrictions in place on July 19th. We will let participants know if the event is likely to be cancelled based on the July 12th government announcement.
