Heritage, Outreach, and Preservation of Entomology
The HOPE project aims to nurture the interests of children and young people and enthuse them about natural sciences. Using our British Insect Collections and our staff's expertise, we aim to enhance science learning in and out of school and build the next generation of scientists.
Our Museum has considerable experience working with groups with diverse needs and we are happy to tailor our work to suit the requirements of your group.
