Exhibition
Verwonder je in deze tentoonstelling over de verbazingwekkende diversiteit aan patronen in de natuur. Leer waarom juist deze vormen en kleuren zo effectief zijn voor verleiding, camouflage, stevigheid, efficiëntie of afschrikking en ontdek hoe mensen deze handige patronen kunnen gebruiken.
Levensbelang
Overal om ons heen zijn ze te vinden: stippen, strepen, spiralen, golven en andere bijzondere vormen en structuren. Voor planten en dieren zijn deze patronen van levensbelang. Ze helpen bij overleven, het aantrekken van een partner of het misleiden van vijanden. Elke vorm heeft een functie en sluit perfect aan bij de omgeving waarin het dier of de plant leeft. De natuur bepaalt wat werkt en eigenschappen die goed werken, worden doorgegeven aan de volgende generatie.

Verwonder je in deze tentoonstelling over de verbazingwekkende diversiteit aan patronen in de natuur. Leer waarom juist deze vormen en kleuren zo effectief zijn voor verleiding, camouflage, stevigheid, efficiëntie of afschrikking en ontdek hoe mensen deze handige patronen kunnen gebruiken.
