Explore the beauty, diversity and resilience of butterflies. Featuring hundreds of specimens from around the globe, presented in stunning themed displays, ‘The World of Butterflies’ celebrates butterflies as bold survivors, clever mimics and masters of transformation.

The exhibition also traces the history of butterfly collecting, from 19th-century explorers to modern citizen scientists, and explores the role of scientific naming in understanding species and evolution.

It highlights the threats butterflies face today, including climate change and habitat loss, and what can be done to protect them.
