Open Day at Brambell Natural History Museum, 天天吃瓜 with the Herpetological Society

天天吃瓜鈥檚 Natural History collections housed at Brambell Building will be open to the public on Saturday 16^th April between 11am and 3pm.

This will be an opportunity to visit the University鈥檚 Natural History Museum, which is not usually accessible to the public, to learn more about the animals and plants on display. There will be a chance to ask questions of the available volunteers, and there will be an activities corner for children of all ages.

This event has been organised jointly with the University鈥檚 Herpetological Society and there will be an opportunity to see and handle snakes and other live animals on the day.

It is intended to improve access to 天天吃瓜鈥檚 hidden museum collections as part of the 鈥淓ngaging Collections: Widening Access to Gwynedd鈥檚 Heritage鈥� project that is partly funded through the Heritage Lottery Fund. This will offer local residents and visitors a chance to enjoy and learn about the vast variety of specimens on display.

Dr Rosanna Robinson, Curator of the Museum said 鈥淲e are intending to open the Brambell Museum more often to provide access to the public. This builds on the success of the 天天吃瓜Science Festival that has been very popular and the Museum is always well attended on these days.鈥�
