Queer Nature: After Hours

Learn about animal homosexuality, trans* and intersex animals and the many ways in which nature transcends the categories imposed on it by humans at a special evening edition of this fascinating guided tour created and led by Fenja Schultz.

To celebrate Margate Pride, we are opening up the museum after hours for an extended edition of our popular Queer Nature tour on Friday 14 August. Join us and explore the museum with the tour’s creator and expert guide, Fenja Schultz, and enjoy a complimentary drink on arrival.

Tour starts at 5:30pm and lasts one hour; your ticket includes refreshments and access to the museum.

Pre-booking essential.

10% of your admission will be donated to Margate Pride.

Queer Nature Guided Tours

You can also drop in during our regular open days from Saturday 15 to Sunday 16 August to explore the museum with a guided tour, or follow our all-ages self-guided trail. Tours are available at 12:30 and 2:00pm on all both days and are included in your standard admission ticket. Find out more here.

* Please Note: When looking at published research, many scientists use the term “same-sex sexual behaviour”, or SSSB. For the tour, we decided to use Lesbian, Gay or Bisexual behaviour, because these are terms people are likely to be familiar with. When it comes to trans* animals, researchers in the past have used a variety of terms, such as transverstite or transsexual. As these terms mean slightly different things, the decision was to use trans* as an umbrella term, highlighting the transitioning of the animal rather than any specific identity.
