RAINFOREST 2015

About the exhibit

It is one of the most important ecosystems on earth. Although it only covers 7 percent of the world's ice-free land mass, it is home to up to 90 percent of all known zoological and botanical species. The RAINFOREST fascinates people, is home to myths and discoveries of scientists from all over the world.

The Lokschuppen exhibition center in Rosenheim brings the RAINFOREST to Upper Bavaria in a one of a kind, scientifically grounded interactive exhibition. In the “RAINFOREST” exhibition leading scientists combine for the first time their knowledge in the fields of ethnology, ecology, biology, zoology, botany, geology, forestry, remote sensing, climatology and medicine to create an exceptional representation. “RAINFOREST” is an exhibition from the Veranstaltungs + Kongress GmbH Rosenheim in cooperation with the Bavarian Natural History Collections and the Five Continents Museum in Munich and runs from March 20th through November 29th, 2015.

Visitors can look forward to outstanding ethnological and biological exhibits. Other highlights include a jungle sauna, ant terrariums, a tree top trail and a rainforest movie theater. Visitors can also experience first-hand satellite research. Large-scale scenery-staging allows for a unique look into the rainforest ecosystem and interesting facts about the various products consumed by people every day.

Visitors learn about the reasons for deforestation and the consequences of this destruction. Numerous stories about the rainforest and the discoveries of scientists from the beginning/past up to the present make the exhibition an exciting experience. Children are lead through the exhibition with age appropriate explanations on “Amy's Ant Street”.
