Arthropalooza: Ultimate Bug Fest
Arthropalooza is a bold, outdoor celebration of the tiny creatures that quietly power our planet. Set in the museum courtyard, this immersive festival transforms an open-air space into a living landscape of discovery—where insects, arachnids, and other arthropods take center stage.
Surrounded by fresh air and hands-on activity, visitors can explore close-up encounters, interactive learning stations, and engaging experiences that reveal how these small but mighty organisms shape ecosystems, support food systems, and keep our world in balance. From iridescent wings to remarkable survival strategies, Arthropalooza invites guests to slow down, look closer, and see familiar creatures in an entirely new way.
Designed for curious minds of all ages, Arthropalooza blends scientific insight with playful exploration in a relaxed, welcoming environment. Whether you’re a lifelong bug enthusiast or simply curious about the natural world, the courtyard becomes a place to gather, explore, and rethink the role of some of Earth’s most essential inhabitants.
