Explore the remarkable lives of your primate relatives and discover how they have adapted to survive in different habitats.
This is the first exhibition of its kind to show primate taxidermy specimens behaving as they would in the wild. Monkeys: Our Primate Family brings together more than 50 taxidermy specimens, including monkeys, apes, lemurs and lorises. Specimens on display include the barbary macaque, western lowland gorilla, and ring-tailed lemur.
Discover how primates have evolved and adapted to travel and hunt for food; learn about the threat of extinction, habitat loss and hunting that primates face today, and learn about the ongoing conservation efforts to protect primates in the wild.
To celebrate the opening of this new exhibition, they are also hosting family activity days for four days of monkeying around with fun, family activities for all ages. Grab a seat at their craft tables, get hands-on with fascinating objects and more. For more information, visit Monkey Business.

This event is aimed at D/deaf community BSL visitors, and is most suitable for those ages 14+. For more information, visit BSL Tour of Monkeys: Our Primate Family.
