Explore over fifty paintings by renowned wildlife painter Julian Friers at the Ulster Museum.
Over the past half billion years, countless species of animals and plants have lived on the patch of the Earth’s surface we now call Ireland.
Renowned wildlife painter, Julian Friers, has collaborated with Ulster Museum Natural Sciences curator, Dr Mike Simms, to create over 50 remarkable paintings of our flora and fauna, past and present.
Most of the animals you will see in the exhibition have vanished - victims of natural catastrophes, environmental or evolutionary change. Others have departed our shores, but live on elsewhere on the planet.
Thousands of species survive in Ireland today. Many are struggling to adapt to changing environments and climate, and face extinction here.
Join us to explore departed and vanished wildlife - and what can be done to help the survivors hold on.
This exhibition is open at the Ulster Museum from Tuesday to Sunday (closed Mondays) 10:00 to 17:00, and no booking needed!
