Walk quietly: take your time and see everything.
Keep an arm’s length between you
and the artifacts or decors. This way,
you get a better view of the whole
exhibition. Touching is STRICTLY
PROHIBITED except for those objects
presented in the discovery zone
downstairs.
Are you taking pictures? Be careful! DO NOT use flash
and look for warnings that some artefacts CANNOT be
photographed.
Speak quietly: shouting is forbidden.
If a security guard warns you, change your behavior
immediately.
In the exhibition rooms, it is not
permitted to eat or drink.
You can always ask questions
to the guides.
Respect other visitors: do not
disturb them.
Find two animals that are hiding in a vivarium.
They have “nanostructures” at the end of
their legs, which let them stick to the walls
and even the ceiling!
