Event as part of the Art:walk Festival
A live preparation at the Aquazoo Löbbecke Museum provides fascinating insights into the work behind the scenes. It demonstrates how impressive exhibits are created from scientific precision and craftsmanship.
From 6 p.m., visitors to the Aquazoo Löbbecke Museum can look forward to a special programme item as part of the Art:walk Festival: a live preparation in the middle of the exhibition. This will provide a rare glimpse into the scientific and technical work of the museum, which normally takes place in the background. Step by step, visitors are shown how specimens are created - with great care, expertise and precise handling of materials. The live situation makes it clear how closely scientific accuracy and craftsmanship are linked and how this combination results in the exhibits that characterise the Aquazoo. The exhibition is accompanied by the opportunity to talk to the taxidermist. Techniques, materials used and the everyday life of a profession that plays a central role in the museum's communication of nature and knowledge will be discussed. Questions are expressly welcome and turn the presentation into an open exchange. In the context of the Art:walk Festival, the Aquazoo thus becomes a place where science can be experienced as a vivid process. (Source: Art:walk Festival)
