Oxford DodoWe are delighted to announce that Bristol Museum & Art Gallery has been chosen as one of the venues to host the Dodo Roadshow.

The Oxford University Museum of Natural History has been nominated as a Finalist in the Art Fund Prize for Museum of the Year 2015 and has decided to embark on an exciting and jam-packed tour of the country with their star specimen – the Dodo.

In a bid to celebrate the rich diversity of museum collections in the UK, the Dodo will meet with star objects and ‘interview’ them for a series of articles that will be published online.
