More information from organisers:

The Robot Zoo is a family-friendly exhibition which features larger-than-life animals that have been innovatively recreated using a variety of familiar machine parts and gadgets to reveal how their real life counterparts see, eat, hunt and hide.

Interactive exhibits also give you the chance to try jet-propelled squid racing, and shoot a chameleon’s ‘tongue-gun’.

There are also two interactive murals by artist Giulia Casarotto. Spot the chameleons hiding on a mural co-produced with a local Polish singing group for children, or play a sorting game to match animals with their correct habitat.
