Events and Activities

The Butterfly Effect: a climate change installation by The Kaleidoscope Collective, Parkside Community College

A creative response to the Museum's collection and the current climate crisis, 'The Butterfly Effect' is an art installation by the young people of Parkside Community College's Kaleidoscope Collective. In their own words, they 'collaborated with artist Hilary Cox Condron and University of Cambridge climate scientists and museum educators, revealing the stories of mass extinction events, climate change and the interconnectedness of our beautiful planet'. The young people hope the art installation will spark 'thought, discussion and awareness' and reflect their voices. They want to be heard and to inspire everyone to take positive action.

Monday 22nd April, free, throughout the year.

 

We also have regular fossil handling activities on Saturdays and in school holidays, please do phone (01223 333456) to check what's on when you plan to visit.
