Monster Creepy Crawlies is highly interactive: a memorable hands-on and ‘brain-on’ visitor experience. The show brings natural history into science centres and museums – and science into zoos and nature centres. For educators, Monster Creepy Crawlies ties in with physics, chemistry, medical science, ecology and economics, allowing communication of a broader message. For the family audience the exhibition appeals to different age groups and provides plenty of hand-on activities. To maintain accuracy in the text specialists from London Zoo's invertebrates office acted as script consultants.
As with all Tourwest exhibitions, Monster Creepy Crawlies is designed using modular units, easily adapted to almost any space, and can be installed and dismantled quickly and easily by a small team. Storage requirements are minimal, as packing crates are demountable and can be concealed under the display platforms. The exhibition can be modified to suit your audience by the addition of specimens and, most successfully, live displays, bringing another element to the visitor experience.
A child’s first observation of science is through ‘minibeasts’, so this magnified world of Monster Creepy Crawlies is an immediately accessible way to encourage young and old to take a fresh look at the fascinating universe at our feet. Anatomically accurate models of familiar arthropods enlarged to human size, together with theatrical displays of their place in our homes and lives, thrillingly bring the subject alive.
