Exhibitions

    Skyscrapers for snails and a house in the clouds

    A hands-on exhibition all about buildings by animals and humans! Ideal for children aged 3 to 7 years!

    A snail, a polar bear, a bee, an orangutan, a termite and many other animals tell you what they build, how they build, where they build and why. Would you also like to build towers that reach for the sky? Or design a house that floats in water? Have you ever built an igloo or experienced how it feels to sleep among the clouds?

    Enjoy exciting and imaginative experiences about animal and human construction!

Have you ever seen a ball-shaped home hanging from a tree?
