Work has started on a "much needed" upgrade of the Wildlife Dome at Tullie House in Carlisle.

The museum and art gallery is currently taking this opportunity, between now and December 2021, to ask visitors' thoughts on the gallery and what they would like to see.

Biodiversity Curator, Wednesday Batchelor, said: "I’m very excited to co-create this new gallery with our visitors, local groups and communities."

"The displays will be more immersive, tell more stories from the collection and highlight the incredible biodiversity of Cumbria.

"I can’t wait to see people vote on their favourite nature stories, give feedback on what they would like to know about the county’s wildlife and have a chance to see some new temporary displays throughout the gallery in the meantime."

Carlisle artist and team member at Tullie House, Martin Evans, is the man behind the new lick of paint in the wildlife area.
