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 asphalt jungle

Here, you can step into the book and meet gossipy sparrows, foxes on night patrol, tram-riding pigeons, 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 guests.

Many people want to visit the sparrows, foxes and rats in *Animals in the City*. That’s why we admit visitors in smaller groups, so everyone can have a good experience. You therefore need to book a time for your visit.

You can book a time for *Animals in the City* on the day of your visit, directly at the museum. Book when you buy your ticket or show your annual pass at the museum. You will then receive a physical ticket to hand to the attendant at the exhibition. Entry is at quarter past every hour, and a visit lasts about 45 minutes.
