‘Cambridge researchers studying cognition, behaviour and the brain have concluded that people with dyslexia are specialised to explore the unknown. This is likely to play a fundamental role in human adaptation to changing environments.’

‘Schools, academic institutes and workplaces are not designed to make the most of explorative learning. But we urgently need to start nurturing this way of thinking to allow humanity to continue to adapt and solve key challenges’

It's Fossil Friday! What's the tallest freestanding dinosaur mount in the world? The Museum's Barosaurus & Allosaurus in the rotunda, which stands 50 ft (15 m) tall. How does it defy gravity? The Barosaurus is constructed using casts from real fossil bones in our collection.

‘This book is a warm and charming reminder to encourage the curiosity of children, to retain it in ourselves, and never to let our instinctive sense of wonder at the intricacy and beauty of the nature all around us be worn away.’

[Van Gogh Museum @vangoghmuseum]

Stay curious 📚 Van Gogh was a self-taught artist. He relied on handbooks, advice from colleagues, and observation. Despite initial inexperience, he quickly mastered new skills. His willingness to experiment kept him learning and growing throughout his life.

The Sounds of Imagination: ‘I find it very inspiring to remind myself that people are capable of beautiful art, beautiful music, beautiful writing, beautiful research.’

[Lisa Douglas Carne @scribblersdrey]

‘What we call arts and sciences both arise from our faculties of imagination, wonder, and curiosity—regarding the phenomena unfolding around us and regarding our own ability to meaningfully experience these phenomena.’

[Lisa Douglas Carne @scribblersdrey]

“People say to me, ‘How did you first become interested in animals?’, and I look at them and I say: ‘Was there a time when you were not interested in animals?’ It’s the first sort of pleasure, delight and joy you get as a child.” - Sir David Attenborough

[Lisa Douglas Carne @scribblersdrey]

‘We have to be part of it, not dominate and exploit it. Perhaps the best resource we have, she argues, is children, who are naturally and often insatiably curious about the world around them.'

This is one of the cg shots we contributed to this lovely tape measure moment. This scene has some extremely entertaining puppeteering and a few cg shots that we pushed performance further.
