Event Information

Please note – this visit is now fully booked 

Isla Gladstone, Curator of Natural Sciences at the Yorkshire Museum,  has kindly offered to give members a guided tour and introduction to the Biology collections.   There is a massive reserve of fascinating material in the stores at Birch Park*, including reference collections of insects, plants, shells and spirit preserved material, alongside cased taxidermy dioramas and osteology.   We will be given the opportunity to look at and handle materials and specimens rarely seen by the public.

The cost will be £5.00 per person to cover administrative expenses, and a small donation to the York Museums Trust. Further details and booking form will be issued with the February newsletter.

*The  Birch Park stores are off Huntington Road, about a mile from the City Centre.
