Nature's Impact on Fashion and Fashion's Impact on Nature
This Women in Science tour will look at nature's impact on fashion and fashion's impact on nature and discuss some inspirational scientists and activists from the present and from history. We will show you some of our iconic specimens and invite you to share the stories of the women whose science links to some raw materials and inspirations for fashion: jewels, birds, plants, spiders, butterflies and beetles.
This tour is one of a suite of Women in Science tours one or more of which which are offered on every Tuesday and the 3rd Saturday of the month. Contact l.biggenden@nhm.ac.uk with enquiries about availability and group bookings.
No booking required; the meeting point is by Guy the Gorilla, 1st Floor Hintze Hall. The nearest entrance is the Cromwell Road one. A Visitor Assistant will be happy to help you find the meeting point. Once in the Hintze Hall take the stairs ahead of you and when you get to the statue of Darwin turn right for a few more stairs. Up on this 1st floor balcony is the Women in Science tour meeting point just near Guy the Gorilla. If you're running late just look for the volunteer in purple with a group somewhere on the balcony or in the minerals gallery
