Gwunderhaas in bird paradise
The dream of flying: Why birds fly, but rabbits don't get off the ground even with the longest ears in the world.
In the exhibition "In Search of the Bird of Paradise", Gwunderhaas meets the spotted woodpecker. The two of them take you on a journey through the paradisiacal world of birds. You'll investigate the magic of flight, find the connection between dinos and birds, and strike up a conversation with a toucan.
Afterwards, you will dive into the rainforest in the Cantonal Library - you will climb through the dense forest of leaves, discover colorful birds and flowers, accompanied by mysterious sounds from this diverse habitat. At the same time you will make a colorful souvenir.
