An interactive exhibition that invites visitors of all ages to explore the biological clocks that govern life on Earth. Through hands-on installations, immersive displays and scientific demonstrations, the show unveils the mechanisms and rhythms of circadian, seasonal and developmental timing.

Educational workshops offer practical learning for school groups and families.
