Bristol Museum Lates- Wildlife Photographer of the Year

Join us after hours for a chilled-out evening of art, music, and good vibes.

We are doing a limited run of late-night openings for our Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition, perfect for a post-work hang out or an arty date night! We will also be hosting a selection of local DJs to fill the halls with groovy beats, so grab a drink and take in the sights and sounds of our incredible building.

Wildlife Photographer of the Year Exhibition

The world-renowned exhibition, now in its sixtieth year and on loan from the Natural History Museum in London, opened at Bristol Museum & Art Gallery in autumn 2024, featuring exceptional images that capture fascinating animal behaviour, spectacular species and the breath-taking diversity of the natural world. Using photography’s unique emotive power to engage and inspire audiences, the images shine a light on stories and species around the world and encourage a future of advocating for the planet.

Sessions to enter the Wildlife Photographer of the Year Exhibition are:

• 6pm – 7pm
• 7pm – 8pm
• 8pm – 9pm

Visual display

From 6pm to 9pm, watch as our rear hall is transformed into a stunning display of light and movement with our exciting new projection mapping. Exclusive to the late opening events and courtesy of our digital team here at the museum.

Music: Artists to be announced!

From 6pm to 9pm, catch sets from a collection of Bristol artists from live performances to DJ sets. Artists to be announced.
