About the Campus of Curiosities Festival

Join the Barber, the Lapworth Museum of Geology, and University Music for a free online family festival full of campus curiosities - as we celebrate nature and springtime together. 

Let your imagination soar above the clouds in The Barber's poetry workshop with artist Sipho Ndlovu and and be inspired by the art in their galleries to make your very own 3D landscape! Delve under the earth with the Lapworth Museum to uncover millions of years of secrets and join University Music as you become a sound explorer and record noises of nature that you can find around you.
