Arthropalooza: Ultimate Bug Fest
Arthropalooza is a bold celebration of the tiny creatures that quietly power our planet. This immersive festival transforms museum spaces into vibrant environments of discovery—where insects, arachnids, and other arthropods take center stage.
Through close-up encounters, hands-on activities, and interactive learning stations, visitors are invited to explore the remarkable adaptations and life cycles that allow these small but mighty organisms to thrive. From iridescent wings to powerful pincers, Arthropalooza reveals how arthropods shape ecosystems, support food systems, and help keep our world in balance.
Designed for curious minds of all ages, Arthropalooza blends scientific insight with playful exploration in a welcoming, festival-like atmosphere. Whether you’re a lifelong bug enthusiast or simply ready to look a little closer, this event encourages visitors to slow down, engage their senses, and see familiar creatures in a whole new way.
