World of Insects

Temporary exhibition
From June 1, 2026
How are a dragonfly's wings structured? Why do fireflies glow? And how does the emerald cockroach wasp hunt?

At the exhibition, you will not only find answers to these questions but also see oversized scale models that allow you to examine every single detail — from the wings to the tiniest anatomical features.

The exhibition is perfect for the whole family and offers a great opportunity to spend time both productively and engagingly.

Discover the world of insects like you've never seen it before.

Please note: Tickets for this exhibition must be purchased as a package together with general museum admission.

Scale model — are you serious?!

Temporary exhibition
From May 18, 2026
The ancient Egyptian pyramids, the Soviet magazine "Yuny Tekhnik" (Young Technician), and Minecraft all have one thing in common: they embody an eternal human passion — to build, invent, and create, whether it's architectural wonders, scale models, or virtual worlds.

At first glance, model making might seem like mere entertainment. Miniature trees, tiny cars and buildings, figures of people and animals... But behind each of these worlds lie hours of measuring, calculating, selecting materials, and painstaking work. Sometimes, even the smallest scene requires immense effort.

Admission is included in the museum ticket price
