Animals in the City

Why do animals settle among the city’s high-rises and honking cars? Have you ever wondered why animals settle among the city’s high-rises and honking cars? Find out in the new exhibition based on Sarah Sheppard’s children’s book, Animals in the City. The exhibition is open until 9 January 2028.

Welcome to the urban jungle. Step into the book and meet gossiping sparrows, foxes on night patrol, pigeons riding trams, and the city’s cleverest resident—the rat! Discover a world where the proportions are all out of whack, with banana slides and giant fries. Through facts, imagination and humour, you can explore how animals live in the city and learn why the city has become a haven for blackbirds, squirrels, foxes and more unusual visitors.

Many people want to visit the sparrows, foxes and rats in Animals in the City, so visitors are admitted in smaller groups to ensure everyone has a good experience. You therefore need to book a time slot before your visit.

Booking a time slot
Time slots for Animals in the City are booked on the same day, directly at the museum. Book your time when you buy your ticket or show your annual pass at the museum. You will receive a physical ticket, which you hand to the host at the exhibition. Admission is at quarter past each hour, and a visit lasts approximately 45 minutes.
