THE National Media Museum will be opening in the evening and offering an insight into its Stranger than Fiction exhibition.

Held on January 27 at 7pm, the Evening in Stranger than Fiction includes a tour of the Joan Fontcuberta photography exhibition.

Curators will answer questions about the often bizarre photographs, which feature mermaid fossils, monks performing miracles and impossible animals.

The night also includes a meal and a behind the scenes look at other exhibits.

Tickets are £20-£25. To book, call 0844 856 3797.
