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!

Archinature
An interactive exhibition about buildings by humans and animals! Ideal for all ages from 8 years and above!
From idea to finished construction! Animals often have their work cut out to build their structures in their natural habitat. At FRida & freD, you too will have your hands full: design a tree house, build a dome, erect the tallest tower, design your favourite wallpaper or construct an amazing bridge! Have you ever seen a ball-shaped home hanging from a tree?
Discover unusual structures and showcase your creative ideas!
