Life under the surface
SCIENCE EVENT AT THE ZOOLOGICAL MUSEUM
Meet more than 50 international and Danish scientists and learn more about their research into life in the ocean and in fresh water. The Natural History Museum and DTU Aqua have teamed up to organize this event, which takes place at the Zoological Museum on Saturday, 21 May from 10 AM – 4 PM.
The researchers will use the museum’s scientific collections to tell the exciting stories about life under water. You can learn more about topics such as new species of deep-sea fishes, the Greenland shark, the horseshoe crab, tardigrades, and the secretive otter from Zealand. Also, do not miss a visit to the whale cellar that contains one of the world’s biggest collections of whale skeletons.
This will be the last event before the Zoological Museum closes by the end of the autumn vacation 2022.
All activities are free of charge as long as you have a ticket to the museum or an annual pass. You can buy your ticket upon arrival or online.
Get close to the giants of the sea on a guided tour in the whale cellar, which is normally closed to the public. Capacity is limited so do remember to reserve your free ticket for a specific timeslot at the information counter on the fifth floor, located close to where you exit the elevator. The reservation ticket should be shown together with your annual pass or your ticket to the museum.
Duration of the guided tour: 20 minutes
Timeslots: 10.30, 10.55, 11.20, 11.45, 12.10, 12.35, 1.10, 1.35, 2.00, 2.25, 2.50, 3.15
