EXTRA, the marketplace for scientific touring exhibitions.
This exhibition proposes a discovery tour both of the stars and a forest with its busy nocturnal inhabitants. It also offers a silent space for examining sleep and dreams.
THE NIGHT SKY
Why is it dark? How to recognize the stars? Why does the moon change shape? This part of the exhibition presents the essentials of astronomy observable with the naked eye and the basics for understanding the night sky.
NIGHT LIFE
Immersed in a simulated forest, on the lookout for living creatures from here and elsewhere, visitors take a nocturnal walk to discover a great number of animal and plant specimens.
A NIGHT OF SLEEP
The visitor is greeted in the calm, serene atmosphere of an animal dormitory…filled with audible breathing and snoring. The fundamental questions of sleep and dreams are addressed in a bedroom.
MYTHS AND NIGHT MONSTERS
A play of shadows and visual effects are combined in a gallery of mythical creatures, where vampires and werewolves reveal their origins, their symbolism and their representations.
