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 this special evening edition of this fascinating guided tour created and led by Fenja Schultz.

To celebrate Pride Month, we are opening up the museum after hours for a special edition of our popular Queer Nature tour on Friday 12 June.  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.

Follow our all-ages self-guided trail to find out how animals express themselves and form families, encouraging curiosity and a deeper appreciation for the wonders of the natural world.

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

*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.
