About Snake Summer: Medieval Wyrms and Victorian Sea Serpents!

It's the year of the snake, and we're celebrating with cryptids! Join us after hours to learn about the snakes of fact and fiction!

This summer, join us at the Hunterian Zoology Museum to explore the snakes of fact and fiction with a programme of after-hours events designed to celebrate the serpentine!

Join us on Friday 27 June 2025 for Medieval Wyrms and Victorian Sea Serpents.

Dr Fraser Dallachy (University of Glasgow) and Dr Jordan Kistler (University of Strathclyde) will share their knowledge of snake rumours and folklore - at the same time, enjoy a late glance at the real snake specimens in the museum (and all the other exhibits of course).

Snake Summer runs between 27 June and 5 September 2025 and is hosted by the College of Arts & Humanities, in collaboration with The Hunterian.
