In Fish - Scaled Up, 25 North European fish species are presented as images of unprecedented high quality on huge photo booths. We see patterns in the skin of the fish, which you would normally never see with the naked eye. The high resolution of the pictures makes the experience an almost 3-dimensional artistic experience.

TIME: What is time? Can you measure time? Can you feel time? Can you explain time? What is time doing with us? What do we do with time? Time is already a very important topic for children - and in our fast-moving time even more important than ever! Time is as diverse as life is and you can find time anywhere. In the exhibition, the children take part in an expedition with their personal time clock. They visit different places and get to know different people - and notice the diversity of time. In each area, an expedition photo is taken – to stop the time for a minute. Children engage in a variety of interactions and at the end of their visit, they are reminded of the time spent in the exhibition of their personal expedition certificate. Time-expeditions are for children aged between 3 and 7 as well as for children aged 8 and over.

Engaging us in a call to action, WATER- Unfiltered exhibition inspires everyone to commit for a future with water for all.

Gladiator, the exhibition of which you are the hero or heroine! What if you were a gladiator? Enter the world of gladiature, take the oath, train and become the new star of the Roman Empire. During a visit, slip into the shoes of a gladiator and discover the truth about these extraordinary fighters! Immersed in scenery inspired by archaeological sources, the visitor plays the role of a contemporary of the Roman era who comes to enlist as a gladiator. He moves between the ludus, where gladiators lived and trained, and the amphitheater, and discovers the world of gladiature beyond all clichés. The connected experience allows visitors to make their own choices and follow their own trajectory. The story they will live in the ludus will be their own. Size : 200-300 sqm
