Animals in the City

Why do animals actually 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, Djuren i staden. You can visit the exhibition until 9 January 2028.

Welcome to the urban 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 proportions are all out of whack, with banana slides and gigantic fries. Through facts, imagination and humour, you can explore how animals live in the city and learn why the city has become a home for blackbirds, squirrels, foxes and more unusual visitors.

Many people want to visit the sparrows, foxes and rats in Djuren i staden. That’s why visitors are admitted in smaller groups, so everyone can have a good experience. You therefore need to book a time slot before your visit.

Booking a time slot

Time slots for Djuren i staden are booked on the same day, directly at the museum. You book your time slot 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. Visitors are admitted at quarter past each hour, and a visit lasts about 45 minutes.
