For
the true romantic, the Beautiful Tour celebrates the aesthetic side of
Valentines Day with tours and talks by our experts on the beauty of
nature, with
specimens on hand, and a chance to chat with our scientists in an
informal setting.
For the romance sceptic or the anti-Valentine, the
Ugly Tour will feature expert led talks on nature’s most
stomach-churning work with specimens on hand of the ugliest, and
most gruesome creatures in the world of science. From the beautiful and
breath-taking to the hairy and scary, there’s something for everyone.
