Veranstaltungsdetails
The exhibition puts the spotlight on native birds, mammals and minerals. The appearance of birds and mammals reveals a lot about how they move, hunt and eat. Two habitats, the city and the Alps, exemplify how animals know how to help themselves in a constantly changing environment. Of the 700 or so minerals found in Switzerland, we present the most spectacular and beautiful.
Birds and mammals have a variety of characteristics that are perfectly suited to their way of life. For example, how efficient are their eyes or ears? What kind of locomotion are their legs and feet suitable for? Does fur protect them from the cold or camouflage them from enemies?
Various parts of the animals' bodies are examined more closely in several areas. It becomes clear that their appearance reveals a lot about how mammals and birds move, hunt and eat.
On the upper floor of the exhibition, we use the example of the city and the Alps to show how animals adapt to their habitat. The animals' way of life in the constantly changing environment of the city is just as astonishing and amazing as the way they have adapted to survive in the extreme weather conditions of the Alps.
They shine, have perfect shapes and all kinds of colors - it's hard to believe that these precious minerals grow in dark, narrow cavities inside the mountains. They usually form their magnificent crystal shapes unhindered in crevices. On a Tour de Suisse, we show around 200 treasures from the museum's mineralogical collection and illustrate which minerals are found in which parts of Switzerland. We also reveal which minerals are suitable as raw materials.
