RSPB

The RSPB is a charity for the conservation of birds and nature, working locally in the UK and around the world. Its work protects habitats, saves species and helps to end the nature and climate emergency, building a world where wildlife, wild places, and all people can thrive.

We have worked in affiliation with the RSPB on the development of our new exhibition Birds: Brilliant and Bizarre, opening 24 May 2024. Our two organisations have united to raise awareness of the dangers facing birds and empower people to take action to protect them.

Birds have been around for millions of years and inhabit every continent on Earth, but how well do you really know them?

Join us this summer to unravel the epic story of birds, from surviving the mass extinction event that wiped out all other types of dinosaurs to their incredible evolution into over 11,000 distinct species. Discover the secrets to their success and some of their surprising and often shocking tactics for survival.

Birds: Brilliant and Bizarre is open in our South Kensington Museum from 24 May 2024 - 5 January 2025.
