Naturama

Frommer's Staff

Formed from a zoological collection started in 1935, Naturama was greatly expanded, changing its name from the zoo to a new moniker based on "nature" and "drama." In both skeletons and mounted animals, the exhibition raids the land, sea, and air, including the great whales of the North Atlantic -- in fact, Naturama is Denmark's largest display of not only whales but also other sea mammals. The center also displays the largest forest mammals in Scandinavia, including everything from bears to bison. Advanced lighting techniques, sound, and even films supplement the exhibitions. On top of the building, you'll be introduced to 500 woodland birds, everything from eagles to owls, from Woody Woodpecker to the most beautiful of songbirds.
