The Remarkable World of Insects
The exhibition introduces entomology and the diversity of insects.
Idioma del contenido
Enlarged models of insects and a honeycomb change the scale at which this collection can be viewed. The exhibition combines them with accounts of species diversity and adaptations to different environments. It also introduces entomology, the field devoted to studying insects. Butterflies and beetles are among the groups presented. Their appearance is one subject of the display, alongside the ways insects function in nature.
A second theme concerns human uses of insects, including honey bees, silkworms and scale insects. Together, these examples extend the story beyond the most familiar relationship with bees. The exhibition includes specimens from Poland and abroad, while models show selected elements on a larger scale. It brings together recognition of animal groups, their adaptations and their connections with human activity.
