In the exhibition “Above Island and Sea” you can experience what we call “the Archipelago’s Big Five” – namely the five topics which are specific for the South Funen Archipelago and particularly for the area around Strynø.
The five topics are like “islands” in the physical exhibition at Øhavets Smakke- og Naturcenter. Here you can learn more about:
The shallow waterStrynøNatureThe work of iceThe Birds
The exhibition will prepare you to go out and experience the Archipelago on your own, both its nature and its culture history. It offers inspiration for playing and learning in the nature around Øhavets Smakke- og Naturcenter.
The exhibition’s modules are made of wood in a beautiful, organic designs inspired by the local nature and the sea in particular. But also the frames of the smack dinghies have served as inspiration. The exhibition has been designed by Kvorning Design & Kommunikation. The unique photos and film, which are an aesthetic way to tell about the five topics in the exhibition, are created by wildlife photographer Andreas Mørck Nielsen from Moving Nature.
Come and discover a vibrant exhibition for both children and adults.
We are looking forward to welcoming you!
