Ice World
2024. February 18.
Do you wish for a lot of snow and ice this winter?
Ice Age has arrived at the Hungarian Natural History Museum: we bring the polar ice sheets inside our halls and fill them with both extant and extinct inhabitants of the cold climate. Come be part of the magic and skate with us alongside the animals of the polar regions and the Last Ice Age.
We offer you a 160-squaremetre synthetic indoor ice-skating rink and 17 exhibitions as all part of your entrance ticket, from 17 November 2023 to 17 February 2024, every day between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.
The Ice World exhibition and its skating rink provide experience, knowledge, and entertainment for all members of the family. The exhibition presents some of the most spectacular animal species of the Last Ice Age, as well as today’s polar and tundra regions. Although some of these species are extinct, many still exist but are endangered due to Climate Change, hence they are currently on the brink of extinction. Climate Change, along with the role of humans in its process, is a cross-border, global social problem, which is essential to learn about and introduce to the younger generations in order to create a more sustainable and liveable future. Therefore, Hungarian Natural History Museum aims to fulfil its important mission of contributing to the development of environmental attitudes of visitors through their museum experience.
