Bear, myths and realities - A mythical animal, but also often condemned, the bear represents the animalistic side that man recognises in himself, but which he strives to drive out. Whether the bear is revered or despised, it is always coveted and is the object of many fantasies, somewhere between attraction and aversion. So, on a universal scale, the exhibition will highlight the complex perception that Man has of the bear and will invite the visitor to question this relationship which unites him with the Bear. Consequently, the exhibition will look at the history of bears as well as the shared history of Man and the bear. Organised around several themes – culture, nature and societies – this exhibition will be the occasion to create an inventory of our relationship with the bear through the myth that we have created of it and the scientific reality that is imposed on us in an objective way: neither gloomy nor cheerful, but fair.

Man versus Animal Exhibition.. One world... A common world! Every human has a body – a perfect and unique mechanism. Throughout our entire lives, we explore and push the limits of human abilities. What makes humans different from animals? Humans have the power of intellect, but how does it fare against the powers and skills that animals posses? Study animal abilities, learn from them and improve yourselves, and enjoy a frst-hand experience of the world around us. EXHIBITION AIMS Human versus Animal creates a comprehensive concept of biology that makes it accessible and understandable and invites the visitors to discover their own physical abilities and possibilities. The exhibition is built around thematic topics that are focused on the senses, the structure and performance of the human body and uses a popular format to show humans at the top of the food chain on Earth. The majority of all exhibits demonstrates to visitors the performance or limits of their own bodies in comparison to certain representatives from the Animal Kingdom: each of them will have the chance to compare the abilities of their own eyes with those of an eagle, to compare their auditory range with dolphins and bats and familiarize themselves with the difference between the orientation skills of a tarsier and themselves, as well as many others.
