In response to the current environmental crisis, the exhibition “Veil of Nature” by Luxembourgish artist Justine Blau, curated by Fanny Weinquin, explores, through works navigating between documentation, illusion and narration, man’s relationship with nature and conservation practices. Guided tours of the exhibition “Veil of Nature” will take place every Saturday from June 22nd to July 20th and on the last day of the exhibition, July 28th.
AI technologies at the centre of innovation in biodiversity data management
Europe’s biodiversity continues to decline at an alarming rate, with most protected species and habitats confronting poor conservation status. Facing the pressure, it is important to understand and model the forces and processes shaping biodiversity with novel tools and methods for knowledge-based and integrated management of natural resources, opening new horizons for science, policymaking and implementation.
220 years of science and history
The University of Tartu Natural History Museum and Botanical Garden is a meeting place for visitors, students and researchers. It documents Estonian and global nature, promotes research and disseminates knowledge on nature education to contribute to the conservation of biodiversity.
Where to go with kids?
Visit the Natural History Museum or the Botanical Garden! The museum is the place to stand face-to-face with a lion, study sparkling minerals, rocks and fossils or listen to a woodfinch sing. In the Botanical Garden, you can enjoy the warm tropics, meet turtles, see insectivorous plants or 70-year-old cacti.
