Exotic Creatures

This exhibition explores animals in the Royal Collection, menageries and early zoos, and political beasts in the period 1750 to 1850. Discover the fascinating story of the first living giraffe in the UK, given to George IV as a diplomatic gift in 1827, plus the history of travelling menageries performing in London and Brighton, and other exotic creatures. Families can enjoy the exhibition’s hands-on and playful approach and children are challenged to complete the Royal Pavilion Creature trail. (Purchase at admission desk). Can you find the dragons, serpents and birds as you explore the Royal Pavilion on your way to the Exotic Creatures exhibition?
