Our exhibit in the special exhibition HELLO NATURE in the Germanisches Nationalmuseum

The Bionicum exhibit “customs detective” is enriching the Germanisches Nationalmuseum Nuremberg since October, the 3rd. It is part of the new special exhibition: ‘Hello Nature. How do we want to live together?’ Well, what does that look like? See for yourself and try out whether you would make a good customs detective for species conservation. We are delighted that our serious game has found a place in this fantastic and comprehensive exhibition.

You might also stumble across a game on loan of the Tiergarten Nürnberg. Which one? We won’t tell… Find out for yourself.
