Activity

This activity has ended.

What links skating suits to sharks? And trains to kingfishers? Find out in The Makery at NEMO.

Experiment

In the interactive exhibit Natural Inventors you will discover which invention was inspired by which animal or plant. You experiment with sound effects by imitating nature sounds with everyday items. For example, a flying bird sounds just like... flapping gloves! And with a plunger you can imitate the sound of a galloping horse.

Specially for multilingual families

For multilingual families, NEMO Science Museum provides instructions in eight different languages at The Makery. Besides Dutch and English, the instructions are also available in German, French, Turkish, Ukrainian, Italian and Spanish.
