Pride at the Natural History Museum
Join us to celebrate Pride Month. From asexual lizards to hermaphrodite molluscs, we’ll explore the fascinating fluidity of life on Earth.
This Pride Month we’re celebrating the diversity of sexual behaviour, biology and reproduction found in nature.
Speak with our scientists about all manner of subjects, from asexual reproduction in Komodo dragons to the marvellous mating methods of molluscs. Watch award-winning drag king Bi-Curious George perform and pick your favourite specimen to use as a muse in one of our art workshops.
Enjoy exploring our galleries away from the daytime crowds, including our new free Fixing Our Broken Planet Gallery. Plus, visit our new exhibition Space: Could Life Exist Beyond Earth? for a truly out-of-this-world experience.
Join us for this after-hours event with science-centred activities you won’t find anywhere else.
