Actions, lectures, guided tours
The exhibition "Experience Mudflats - Understand Mudflats" shows and examines mudflat landscapes and brings to light an exciting world between the grains of sand. In the Museum of Nature Hamburg - Zoology, but also on the river mudflats in the middle of Hamburg and on the North German coast, experts show and explain the world of the mudflats during activities and excursions. Whether on a bicycle, tinkering with shells or on an insect excursion: experience the teeming in the sand and learn what role the tidal flats play in the ecosystem.
