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, *Djuren i staden* (Animals in the City). The exhibition is open until 9 January 2028.

Welcome to the concrete jungle

Step into the book and meet chatty sparrows, foxes on night patrol, pigeons riding trams, and the city’s cleverest resident—the rat! Discover a world where 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 it has become a home for blackbirds, squirrels, foxes and more unusual visitors.

Lots of people want to visit the sparrows, foxes and rats in *Djuren i staden*, so we admit visitors in smaller groups to ensure everyone has a good experience. You therefore need to book a time for your visit.

Booking a time

You can book a time for *Djuren i staden* on the same day, directly at the museum. Book when you buy your ticket or show your annual pass at the museum. You will receive a physical ticket, which you must give to the host at the exhibition. Entry is at quarter past every hour, and a visit lasts approximately 45 minutes.
