The scattered sculptures are 2ft (0.6m) tall and members of the public will be able to "collect the eggs" from 24 March when they can be found and ticked off on a free app which is set to reveal prizes along the way.

When the exhibition ends, the sculptures will be auctioned to raise funds for Asian wildlife conservation through the charity, Elephant Family, which was founded by the Queen's late brother, Mark Shand.
