Albus Festival: The Course of Nature – Birds

Science communicator Matilda Tjellden takes the family on a journey down the stairs – and millions of years back in time. With each step we move further back in Earth's history, from volcanic ash on Fur (55 million years), over layers of chalk from Møns Klint (70 million years), to the bedrock of Bornholm (1.4 billion years). Both children and adults must book tickets.
