Bare Bones

Time & Tide Museum of Gt Yarmouth Life  until 7 October

This fascinating exhibition invites visitors of all ages to explore the beauty, and secrets, of animal skeletons.

Skeletons help us understand how animals move, but they can tell us much more; these intricate structures reveal what animals eat, where they live, how they give birth. They can show us how different species are linked – and how they have evolved.

Learn how an Osprey holds on to a slippery fish, how a monitor lizard can climb trees, and how a frog’s skeleton changes as it transforms from a tadpole.

Over 20 animals, including birds, fish and amphibians, are represented in dynamic 3D exhibits, stunning images and interactive displays.
