About this event

They started as wild hunters and have been worshipped in ancient temples, featured in nursery rhymes, displayed in circuses and now rule the internet! Through artworks and specimens, this exhibition explores the evolution of the feline / human relationship. From jungle prowlers to sofa dwellers, see how these mysterious creatures have adapted, served and charmed their way into our lives. Whether you’re a cat person or just have a cat-like curiosity, this exhibition reveals the wild side of one of our favourite animals.

The exhibition is open Monday-Friday 9.30am-7pm (last entry 5pm).
