With its modern design the Discovery Hall allows for a more playful way of exploration and discovery. Here you can learn more about the behavior and anatomy of wild animals.

The Discovery Hall isn’t just a playground for kids: the interactive exhibition includes topics such as camouflage and aposematism, animal tracks, sounds and teeth, and the life of the white stork. Here visitors can meet the animals from the removed dioramas (white stork, hare and rabbit) again. The newly built, 13 m long meadow display represents the centrepiece of this exhibition and accurately illustrates life above- and underground.
