Have you ever wondered what happens during a tropical storm? In our immersive, technology-enhanced exhibition, we will transport you straight into the heart of a rainy day in the Amazon with the help of sound, light, and rain effects.
Dive into the magical world of coral reefs – the vibrant underwater lungs of our planet! Discover living corals and colorful tropical fish weaving together a breathtaking symphony of life.
Step into the extraordinary world of leaf-cutter ants – true gardeners of the tropics! These remarkable insects don't eat the leaves they carry; instead, they use them to cultivate a special fungus that serves as their food. At Neotropica, you can watch their incredible journey as they march in long, precise lines, carrying leaf fragments back to their underground "garden." Discover just how remarkably organized and resourceful these tiny workers are!
We know the clownfish as the friendly Nemo from the animated film Finding Nemo. In nature, however, these colorful reef dwellers live in close partnership with sea anemones, which protect them with their stinging tentacles. Clownfish are immune to the venom and, in return, help their hosts by cleaning away food scraps.
A magical yet fragile ecosystem that reminds us to consider our impact on nature.
