Also this month they have prepared a great program for you and your children in Bibiana. Come and experience a creative world full of interactive exhibitions, workshops and adventures.
1. AROUND THE WORLD: Interactive exhibition full of adventures
Date: 8 October 2024 – 20 April 2025
Go on an adventurous journey! A unique experience for the whole family
Inspired by Jules Verne’s famous novel Around the World in 80 Days, this interactive exhibition will transport visitors to a world of fantasy and discovery. Like the protagonist Phileas Fogg, you’ll place a bet and attempt to circumnavigate the world in 80 days. You will pass through nine unique environments that symbolise the different corners of our planet:
– Romantic Venice
– A bustling bazaar in the Middle East
– Wild African savannah
– Mysterious India
– The lush rainforest of South America
– The chilling landscape of the Arctic
Interactive challenges and puzzles await you in each environment. For solving them, you’ll get clues in your passport that will allow you to continue your journey. Those who successfully complete all the challenges will discover the treasure of Phileas Fogg himself at the end!
The exhibition combines a light experience with elements of escape and tracking games. It is a collective work of the creative centre DEPO2015 from Pilsen, with which BIBIANA has successfully cooperated for the third time. UNICEF is also a partner of the exhibition and contributes to enriching the programme with global themes.
