We’re proud to present Queer Nature – a special museum tour and trail celebrating the diversity of the natural world.

Join this fascinating guided tour created and led by Fenja Schultz to learn about animal homosexuality, trans* and intersex animals and the many ways in which Nature transcends the categories imposed on it by humans.

Our Young Explorers can follow our all-ages self-guided trail to find out how animals express themselves and form families, encouraging curiosity and a deeper appreciation for the wonders of the natural world.

Tours are available at 12 noon and 2.30pm and included in the standard admission price.

For anyone who joins a Queer Nature tour, we will donate 10% of your admission to Margate Pride.

Please Note: When looking at published research, many scientists use the term “same-sex sexual behaviour”, or SSSB. For the tour, we decided to use Lesbian, Gay or Bisexual behaviour, because these are terms people are likely to be familiar with. When it comes to trans* animals, researchers in the past have used a variety of terms, such as transverstite or transsexual. As these terms mean slightly different things, the decision was to use trans* as an umbrella term, highlighting the transitioning of the animal rather than any specific identity.
