Spirit in the Sky: The Majestic Eagle

Wednesday 2 August

12.30pm Free with Brighton Museum admission, members free

Join us for an enlightening talk on the majestic Eagle and its profound significance in Indigenous cultures and folklore.

Eagles are not just birds, they are revered symbols of power, freedom, and spiritual connection in many Indigenous cultures. They are woven deeply into their stories, traditions, and spiritual practices.

You’ll also get the chance to see artefacts from our Natural History, World Art and Local History collections, including a close-up encounter with a taxidermy golden eagle and white tailed eagle skull.
