SEX-APPEAL, the scandalous life of nature
The intimate life of plants and animals exposed without taboo!
Sexuality, whether animal or plant, is the common thread of the exhibition’s journey, showcasing the creative and audacious ingenuity of nature.
By delving into the very origins of scientific and naturalist observation, Sex-appeal, the Scandalous Life of Nature traces the development of scientific knowledge about sexuality and, through it, the transformations in our perception of the world. It demonstrates that evolution is not only the result of adaptation to the environment but also the culmination of courtship displays in a battle for seduction. A field in which our species, Homo sapiens, has invented nothing!
An exhibition for everyone, with a humorous comic strip path specially created for teenagers!
Photos featured are from the temporary exhibition designed by the Natural History Museum of Toulouse. A touring version is currently in production.
A travelling version soon available!
