Animals in the City

Why do animals settle among the city’s high-rise buildings and honking cars? Have you ever wondered why animals settle among the city’s high-rise buildings 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 asphalt jungle. Here, you can step into the book and meet gossiping 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 kilter, 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 home for blackbirds, squirrels, foxes and more unusual visitors.
