World Animal Day celebration at the Darwin Museum



Ecological holidays are necessary and important! It seems like the visitors of the Darwin Museum agree with us. Almost 3 thousand participants of World Animal Day visited the museum on October 2. Last year on this day, only a little more than a thousand visitors attended the celebration. We are happy and inspired that more people are willing to spend time at the museum again! Or maybe this success is due to the heroes of the holiday - the wolf and the dog? There were a lot of activities dedicated to them!

This time, master classes were especially popular. Fragrant soap in the shape of different animals always excites the delight of the youngest visitors. Participants took home their self-created masterpieces. We hope that little soap animal will greet you with its fragrance in the bathroom for more than one week and will make your morning routine even more pleasant. Almost 90 dogs of different breeds found new homes at the master class "My pet Wolf" where the participants painted their unique brooch.

This year's quest was very unusual and closely connected not only with biology but also with the culture and ancient beliefs of different peoples of the world. The participants searched for totem animals in the showcases and studied their features and habits. When they completed the tasks their totem animal was revealed right before their eyes. 

At the game "Wolf in service of man" the visitors demonstrated excellent knowledge of the importance of different dog breeds in our life. The game "Wolf Truth" helped to bust the myths about the wolf. Puzzle lovers enthusiastically put together images of animals from simple figures in the Tangram game. The youngest visitors of the museum attended the Cubs School and even received a diploma.

The "Battle of the Spinning Tops" attracted not only amateurs but also real pros. The task was not easy, the participants not only had to create a beautiful spinning top, but also the one that would spin for the longest time.

In the game "Who left a trail?" the participants acquired the skills of a tracker and learned to distinguish a wolf's trail from a dog's one by its shape. 

The series of autumn holidays at The Darwin Museum has just begun. Get ready for the Science Festival on October 9 and the Leshy (Forest Spirit) Day on October 23. We are always happy to see you at our museum!
