Touring exhibitions

X-treme

The X-treme exhibition will take you to the most extreme spots on our planet. In places where people have to use all sorts of cunning tricks to survive, even for a short time, we can find animals and plants that have made survival into a veritable art. These are super specialists that have acclimatized to heat, cold, drought, permanent darkness or lack of oxygen.

In X-treme you will find out who the survival champions are and how they have adapted to these extreme environments. Discover what it means to live in these areas: get first-hand experience of how cold the ice wall is, feel the wind-chill effect on your own skin, find your way through dark spaces in our bat cave and climb Mount Everest like a true mountaineer. Will you survive this exhibition?

X-treme is an environment of interactivity and experience; an exhibition for all ages!

This exhibition was coproduced by the Museum of Natural Sciences (Brussels), Naturalis (Leiden) and the Experimentarium (Copenhagen).

Available for rent as from summer 2012.
