Animals: Art, Science and Sound
Exhibition now open | Lower priced tickets available Monday – Wednesday
It will only take a visit to the Library for you to head into deserts, jungles, deep into the ocean and up into the skies on an epic exploration of the animal world and the lengths to which humans have gone to document and discover them.
Animals: Art, Science and Sound follows a centuries-long journey of animal discovery from the belief that a duck-billed platypus must be a hoax to stunning sound recordings of animals we can no longer hear.
And remember, if you [become a Member](https://britishlibraryemails.bl.uk/5JXV-RK80-6TJVT-K7QDC-1/c.aspx) on the day of your visit, we’ll refund your ticket and you can visit all our exhibitions for free.
