‘Is it real?’ is a question we are asked almost every day in the museum. Sometimes the answer isn’t quite as simple as ‘yes’ or ‘no’.

Join the Oxford University Museum of Natural History for a special April Fools-themed workshop taking a creative look at Museum specimens that aren’t quite what they seem.

The workshop will include potentially messy fossil casting, although lab coats will be provided.

For young people aged between 10 and 14 years.

Participants need not be accompanied by a parent or carer but places need to be booked in advance by emailing education@oum.ox.ac.uk
