Exhibition
WIESION
Wiesion
All about insects, spiders, mowers and meadow ions
The bioversum Jagdschloss Kranichstein is currently working diligently on a new exhibition on the subject of insects, spiders, meadows and mowing. What exactly are insects and spiders? What is meant by meadows and how were they formed? What does haymaking have to do with insects and why does the issue of mowing affect more than just people with their own lawns?
The exhibition “Wiesion” is dedicated to all these questions and many more.
On May 17 at 6 p.m., the festive vernissage will take place at the Jagdschloss Kranichstein.
So visit us, we look forward to seeing you!
May 17, 2023 until October 31, 2023
The castle park is open daily from 9:00 to 19:00.
