Over 500 living and prepared invertebrates at Friedrichsforum

Arachnotopia invites you to an impressive encounter with the world of spiders, insects, and other invertebrates in Bayreuth. The exhibition at Friedrichsforum showcases more than 500 living and prepared animals, offering a versatile insight into the fascinating diversity of these often underestimated animal groups.

The focus is on spiders and insects, complemented by other invertebrates. Live animals allow for immediate observations, while prepared specimens make different forms, structures, and appearances visible. Thus, an exhibition is created that opens a special access to the animal world for nature enthusiasts as well as families.
