"Cristina Enea's headquarters is a privileged place for environmental knowledge dissemination in our city, and this exhibition is a magnificent example of this. Insects allows us to rediscover, in a close and accessible way, the importance of these small beings in the balance of the planet. It is an ideal plan to enjoy with the family during the summer, learning and exploring in a playful way, in a natural environment such as the Cristina Enea Park," said the Councillor for the Environment, Iñigo García Villanueva.
Through a pleasant and accessible tour, full of visual and sensory resources, visitors to this unique exhibition will be able to learn about and experiment with multiple aspects of a world that is completely unknown to us: the world of insects. From the most surprising shapes and colors of these beings to their sophisticated strategies of adaptation to different environments, all this can be found in the heart of the Cristina Enea Park.
In fact, the exhibition has been conceived from an inclusive and participatory point of view: the texts are adapted for easy reading and many pieces can even be touched, which allows for a more direct and meaningful experience. Eneko Calvo Etxarte, exhibition projects technician, emphasizes that "this exhibition is fully in line with our vocation of quality environmental knowledge dissemination , designed for all audiences. At a time when biodiversity is at risk, we believe it is essential to generate spaces like this one, which invite us to take a closer look at the small things that often go unnoticed, yet sustain life on the planet".
The sample is structured through information panels, projections, tactile elements, magnifying glasses, graphic materials and 3D pieces that allow the public to interact and delve into the content in an active way. As Marie-Anne Reynell, director of development at the Science Museum, says, "We wanted it to be a welcoming place for all people, without exception".
The exhibition is part of Cristina Enea's summer program and can be visited free of charge. It is an opportunity to discover, marvel and, above all, learn to respect insects, silent but essential protagonists of our ecosystems.
