Join us for an evening celebrating one of the most misunderstood and most magnificent animals on Earth.
Bat conservationist and storyteller Teresa takes us on a journey through the wonderful world of bats: their lives, their roles in ecosystems, and the surprising connections they’ve sparked across cultures and continents.
After the talk, we’ll head outside for a live bat walk on the museum grounds, where you can listen for real bats using an echolocation detector and find your own bat voice with EchoVision, a mixed reality experience that lets you perceive the world through sound, just like a bat does. Whether you’re a lifelong nature lover or a total bat skeptic, this night will change the way you see and hear the world around you.
