Photographs, taxidermied animals, drawings, objects, papers, and documents constitute the diverse framework of the exhibition, which revolves around the enigmatic German biologist Peter Ameisenhaufen. He described and classified exceptionally unusual animals, to say the least, \u2018mysterious\u2019 and unassimilable to any of the known species, between the 1930s and 1940s of the last century. The exhibition originates from the presumed accidental discovery of his materials and plays on the interplay between truth and fiction, art, and science. In Kosmos\u2019 exhibition arrangement, apart from some previously displayed taxidermy models, there is also space for some animals from the Museum\u2019s teratological collection, which have gained new significance thanks to the photographs taken specifically for this exhibition by Fontcuberta.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_column_text]<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-3766\" src=\"https:\/\/museokosmos.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Locandina_Fontcuberta-212x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"212\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/museokosmos.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Locandina_Fontcuberta-212x300.jpg 212w, https:\/\/museokosmos.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Locandina_Fontcuberta-768x1085.jpg 768w, https:\/\/museokosmos.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Locandina_Fontcuberta-725x1024.jpg 725w, https:\/\/museokosmos.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Locandina_Fontcuberta.jpg 843w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 212px) 100vw, 212px\" \/>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h1><\/h1>\n<h1 style=\"text-align: center;\"><\/h1>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator][vc_column_text]<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-3484\" src=\"https:\/\/museokosmos.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/banner-sito-kosmos-copia-1024x427.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"427\" srcset=\"https:\/\/museokosmos.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/banner-sito-kosmos-copia-1024x427.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/museokosmos.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/banner-sito-kosmos-copia-300x125.jpg 300w, https:\/\/museokosmos.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/banner-sito-kosmos-copia-768x320.jpg 768w, https:\/\/museokosmos.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/banner-sito-kosmos-copia.jpg 1282w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h4>FELINI.

Lethal Elegance\u201d an exhibition that proposes the discovery of the world of felines, rare and magnificent animals on the edge of extinction.<\/p>\n<p>Lions, tigers, panthers and wild cats have always represented for humanity a symbol of beauty, strength, courage, and sensual elegance. The felines, due to their peculiarities, are used in the field of advertising and the most refined fashion. However, almost all species in the world are directly or indirectly threatened by man.<\/p>\n<p>On display are 30 taxidermies, life-size models and skulls that allow the visitor to learn about the extraordinary anatomical characteristics of these carnivores. Along the way you will be able to appreciate, among others, the clouded leopard of Vietnam, the snow leopard of the Himalayas, the cheetah, the marbled cat of China, the Siberian tiger and the lion. Through the panels that accompany the specimens, it will be possible to relive stories of felines returned to freedom and to get to know some zoologists who have changed the fate of many animals.<\/p>\n<p>The exhibition is curated by\u00a0<strong>Naturaliter<\/strong>\u00a0from Pisa.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_column_text]<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-3505\" src=\"https:\/\/museokosmos.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/locandina-felini-212x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"212\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/museokosmos.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/locandina-felini-212x300.jpg 212w, https:\/\/museokosmos.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/locandina-felini-768x1086.jpg 768w, https:\/\/museokosmos.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/locandina-felini-724x1024.jpg 724w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 212px) 100vw, 212px\" \/>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator][vc_column_text]<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-large wp-image-3248\" src=\"https:\/\/museokosmos.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Kryptos-banner-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"429\" srcset=\"https:\/\/museokosmos.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Kryptos-banner-1024x429.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/museokosmos.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Kryptos-banner-300x126.jpg 300w, https:\/\/museokosmos.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Kryptos-banner-768x322.jpg 768w, https:\/\/museokosmos.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Kryptos-banner.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h4>KRYPTOS<br \/>\nDeception and mimicry in the animal world<\/h4>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;][vc_column_text]Dates: 8th October 2022 \u2013 5th February 2023.<\/p>\n<p>In nature, nothing is as it seems and deception is the only rule. Mimicry does not mean just hiding but pretending to be something different; the animals show shapes and colors of what surrounds them or they scare the enemies with prominent colors. Many of them pretend to be what they really are not: a leaf, a flower, a sprig, a tuft of moss or adopt the aspect of dangerous species even if they are completely devoid of offensive means.<\/p>\n<p>The Krypt\u00f2s exhibition. Deception and mimicry in the animal world told this fascinating world with a selection of very special live animals: frogs, leaf insects, mantises and spiders with surprising liveries, presented in furnished terrariums that reproduce the natural environment of the species hosted (all born in captivity and not dangerous).<\/p>\n<p>A first section examines the adaptations that animals have developed to disappear in the environments where they live while the second focuses on the aposematic colors and the most refined forms of deception.<\/p>\n<p>The last section illustrates the different ways in which animals perceive the colors of the world around them, an aid to understand their curious behaviour.<\/p>\n<p>The entire exhibition was accompanied by large-format photographs and video projections by Emanuele Biggi and Francesco Tomasinelli, biologists, professional photographers and authors of scientific exhibitions.<\/p>\n<p>The KRYPT\u00d2S exhibition was curated by Emanuele Biggi and Francesco Tomasinelli.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_column_text]<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-3253\" src=\"https:\/\/museokosmos.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/kryptos_locandina-197x300.jpg\" alt=\"Kryptos\" width=\"197\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/museokosmos.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/kryptos_locandina-197x300.jpg 197w, https:\/\/museokosmos.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/kryptos_locandina-768x1169.jpg 768w, https:\/\/museokosmos.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/kryptos_locandina-673x1024.jpg 673w, https:\/\/museokosmos.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/kryptos_locandina.jpg 1643w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 197px) 100vw, 197px\" \/>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator color=&#8221;black&#8221; el_width=&#8221;80&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-large wp-image-3108\" src=\"https:\/\/museokosmos.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Banner-meduse-rev-1024x428.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"428\" srcset=\"https:\/\/museokosmos.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Banner-meduse-rev-1024x428.png 1024w, https:\/\/museokosmos.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Banner-meduse-rev-300x125.png 300w, https:\/\/museokosmos.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Banner-meduse-rev-768x321.png 768w, https:\/\/museokosmos.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Banner-meduse-rev.png 1282w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h4>IL GIARDINO DELLE MEDUSE<br \/>\nThey color the water of the deepest oceans, ports and beaches with their reflections<\/h4>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;][vc_column_text]Dates: 5 March to 12 June 2022<\/p>\n<p>An exhibition dedicated to the fascinating universe of jellyfish, narrated through the award-winning picture book \u201cIl giardino delle meduse\u201c, written by Paola Vitale, illustrated by Rossana Boss\u00f9 and published by Camelozampa.<\/p>\n<p>Surprising creatures that are still mostly unknown, they increased enormously in number throughout the Mediterranean due to the combined effect of climate change and overfishing, jellyfish are important to study because they act as indicators of the environment modifications. The exhibition is designed to guide visitors of all ages on an engaging and unusual journey to discover these fascinating marine animals, which appeared on earth hundreds of millions of years before human beings.<\/p>\n<p>The evocative illustrations are the focus of the itinerary, which spans through large-format color graphics, in which different species of jellyfish have been represented, with sinuous shapes and full of charm. Visitors will be able to learn about the characteristics of each species, from the most venomous to the oldest in the world, which arrived to the present day in the form of fossils. There will be some curiosities related to jellyfish, for example their use in the kitchen, as well as literary and musical references. Kosmos Museum is also showing two original plates from the second half of the nineteenth century used at the time for teaching zoology to the university students. A short video will show the very elegant movement of jellyfish in the sea and, thanks to the help of optical instruments, it will be possible to observe the hydras, tiny freshwater cnidarians that live in clean and well oxygenated waters.<\/p>\n<p>An exhibition that not only aims to be a scientific and cultural study of a zoological taxon, but also a path capable of thrilling and enchanting visitors. The magnificent illustrations signed by Rossana Boss\u00f9 are an invitation to admire the beauty and charm of these marine animals, discovering details that are difficult to observe at first glance.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_column_text]<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-3112\" src=\"https:\/\/museokosmos.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/locandina_mostra_meduse_DEF-212x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"212\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/museokosmos.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/locandina_mostra_meduse_DEF-212x300.jpg 212w, https:\/\/museokosmos.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/locandina_mostra_meduse_DEF-768x1085.jpg 768w, https:\/\/museokosmos.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/locandina_mostra_meduse_DEF-725x1024.jpg 725w, https:\/\/museokosmos.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/locandina_mostra_meduse_DEF.jpg 1760w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 212px) 100vw, 212px\" \/>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator color=&#8221;black&#8221; el_width=&#8221;80&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h1><\/h1>\n<h1 style=\"text-align: center;\"><\/h1>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-2778 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/museokosmos.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Terra_Nascosta_Banner_1-1024x427.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"427\" srcset=\"https:\/\/museokosmos.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Terra_Nascosta_Banner_1-1024x427.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/museokosmos.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Terra_Nascosta_Banner_1-300x125.jpg 300w, https:\/\/museokosmos.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Terra_Nascosta_Banner_1-768x320.jpg 768w, https:\/\/museokosmos.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Terra_Nascosta_Banner_1.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h4>Terra nascosta<br \/>\nRocks, volcanoes and earthquakes from Taramelli&#8217;s discoveries to modern geology<\/h4>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;][vc_column_text]Dates: 5 March\u00a0 to 12 June 2022<\/p>\n<p>One hundred years after the death of Torquato Taramelli, professor of Geology at the University of Pavia, author of the first Italian seismic map and the Geological Map of Italy, Kosmos presented a temporary exhibition with a focus on hands on experience aimed to understand the structure of our planet.
