On August
24, the museum celebrated 10 years since the opening of the interactive
educational center "Discover Yourself – Discover the World", the symbol of
which is the chameleon Charlie. During this time, the Center has been visited
by almost a million people!
In honor of
the holiday, 10-year-old guests visited the interactive exhibition for free.
Taking part
in a quest around the Center, visitors compared their reaction with the
reaction of a chameleon, studied the human skeleton, learned about the methods
of seed dispersal and named the largest class of animals.
A live
Yemeni chameleon from the anti-cafe with an exotarium
"Zhuchki-Pauchiki" came to visit the festival. A reptile specialist
told about the features of the amazing guest: how and why chameleons change
color, what they prefer for lunch and what their character is like. The
chameleon was friendly and sometimes left his terrarium to "communicate"
closer with the guests of the festival.
The winners
of the creative competition "Around Russia with Charlie" were the
honorary guests of the festival, who were awarded prizes from the museum.
The curator
of the interactive center Irina Eliseikina gave a tour of the Center and
answered questions from young biologists.
In the
quest "Such different reptiles" in the halls of the museum, the
participants of the festival learned about the diversity of the class Reptiles
or Reptiles, to which the Chameleon family belongs.
The master
class "Masks" helped to quickly and easily transform into a smiling
reptile.
