You are now on the doorstep of the first of the two main halls of the museum. They have a common theme. That theme is: Biodiversity.
What does that mean?
The first of the two halls is called “HET NATUURTHEATER”
The Virtual Theatre of Nature.

best answer is a show. What do we show in here? Again, many answers may be given but

earth. So what is here to see?
On entering we become aware of a moderately lit room, with many showcases, stuffed animals, and lights embedded in the floor everywhere. Around the lights is a border with the name of an animal group, or animal species that can be found near that very light.
