Mystery at the Museum

What do you get if you cross a BAFTA-winning wildlife presenter, an empty, dark Museum and a captive (online) audience in lockdown? Throw in a quirky crowd funding campaign, and a LOT of dinosaurs, and you get Mystery at the Museum! This live, interactive, online event presented by CBBC’s Steve Backshall invited viewers at home to participate in a night-time puzzle-solving adventure around the Oxford University Museum of Natural History, learning about natural history through objects along the way. Find out more about how the Museum team and Steve put this innovative fundraising event together, and the fantastic audience response!
