Animazing
Sleeping upright, changing colour with the seasons, running like a marathon champion, or seeing in every direction at once… What if nature pushed the boundaries of the possible? ANIMAZING – the exhibition where every animal hides something extraordinary.
The museum is feeling a little chilly! ❄️ ❄️ ❄️ ❄️
Due to a technical issue with the heating system, our galleries are currently a little too cold. Feel free to keep your coat on.
Thank you for your understanding!
