Having become a place to learn about the world's wildlife, the renovated Zoological Museum is devoting its first temporary exhibition, "BiodiverCity," to the city's animals.
Devised as a walk punctuated by drawings by the wildlife illustrator Valentine Plessy, the “BiodiverCity” exhibition examines the ways in which human and non-human city dwellers coexist in times of environmental crises.
Even though nearly 80% of the French population now lives in urban areas, such places tend to be regarded as unnatural spaces. However, a multitude of species and sizes of animals of all origins lives next to us on a daily basis. By focusing on such local biodiversity, the exhibition reaffirms the need to contemplate the continuity of our relationships with living things, beyond our emotions.
