After closing time, the Museumpark is anything but quiet. Every corner is teeming with scurrying, rustling, and squeaking creatures. Rats the size of your uncle and high flying pigeons seem to have taken over the city. While bizarre animal sounds echo through the museum halls, the team of wildlife experts is on standby for the entire night. With high tech gadgets and a healthy amount of courage, they expose the city's secret nightlife. If you listen carefully, you will discover that even vermin seems to have feelings. Is the museum collection coming back to life? No. This is the urban survival instinct in high gear. Come and see how the urban wildlife is managing — and help us keep things under control. Be sure to bring your uncle.
