Animals in the City

Why do animals settle among the city’s high-rises and honking cars? Have you ever wondered why animals make their homes 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* (Animals in the City). The exhibition is open until 9 January 2028.

Welcome to the urban jungle! Here, you can step into the book and meet chatty 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 scale, with banana slides and gigantic fries. Through facts, fantasy and humour, explore how animals live in the city and learn why it has become a haven for blackbirds, squirrels, foxes and more unusual visitors.

Many people want to visit the sparrows, foxes and rats in *Djuren i staden*, 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 *Djuren i staden* 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 then receive a physical ticket to give to the attendant at the exhibition. Admission is at quarter past each hour, and visits last about 45 minutes.
