Temporary exhibition
1st floor, Collets husNature is wonderfully beautiful with its endless diversity of colors and shapes. We are also completely dependent on it. Everything we eat, drink, produce, and the air we breathe originally comes from nature.
In this exhibition, we present the main threats to nature's diversity. You will encounter animals that are at risk of disappearing due to human impact, such as lions, elephants, and pangolins. You will also see animals that are already permanently gone, such as the huia birds from New Zealand and our own great auk. Today, these can only be seen in collections at natural history museums. According to the UN's biodiversity panel (IPBES), one million of the world's species are at risk of suffering the same fate.
Although nature is under significant pressure, we have also become better at protecting it. The exhibition showcases examples of animal species that have been saved from extinction through targeted conservation efforts.
