The exhibition All with feathers at the Natural History Museum of Bordeaux

All feathered and … Feather Balls

The exhibition “Tous à plumes” is designed to introduce children from 6 years old to the world of birds. Birds have become invisible because we have become accustomed to seeing and hearing them, yet they permanently populate our cities and countryside.

The exhibition route (composed of 24 interactive modules and 4 immersive zones) was created by the Apex association and by researchers from several countries. It presents stuffed specimens from the museum’s collections. This exhibition takes children on a sensory experience, where they re-discover birds and their diversity through sight, hearing and touch.

Sizes, morphologies, colours but also songs, feathers and plumage, children learn the specificity of the world of birds and their wild life: from courtship, to migration, through flight and hunting techniques and even the art of camouflage. It’s fascinating!

For children from 3 to 6 years old

Balls of feathers is an exhibition within the exhibition ! A space dedicated to the youngest from 3 to 6 years old. Awakening modules (sound, imitation, touch, etc.) have been installed to meet the unfailing curiosity of the very young public. Birds such as the pink flamingo or the blue macaw adorned in their most beautiful colors are honored in this room.

Anne Hernalsteen and Xavier Lebrun from the Apex association are the creators of Tous à plumes! They are the creators of several intergenerational travelling exhibitions and advocate for openness through sensory and immersive experiences.
