Whether it's a beetle, a spider or a butterfly: bring along what you have discovered on your walk, in the garden or on the Rhine. Our professional  will identify your find and tell you how exciting science can be.

On a guided tour, you can also join an exclusive circle and take a look behind the scenes into the collections or learn more about why wild bees in Switzerland have to fear for their lives and what impact this has at a short lecture.

Cordial invitation to our opening ceremony.

During our guided tour through the special exhibition SEXY – DRIVING FORCE OF LIFE, we show you the role sex plays in reproduction. You will discover that some animals have two sexes, while some have none and others have several. There are animals that can change their sex and animals that can have two sexes at the same time. But they all have one thing in common: they want to reproduce.
