Enter Antopia, where you shrink down to the size of ants to experience a day in the life of an ant colony.

Discover a complex and fascinating superorganism in this immersive, interactive experience that digitally reinterprets a world of secrets we cannot see.

  • Experience the astonishing chemicals ants use to communicate through brightly coloured pathways and glowing light trails.
  • Explore physical interactives, stunning digital animations and five immersive spaces.
  • Engage with interactive projections that respond to your movements and marvel at innovative 3D sculptures and interactive sensory lighting.
  • Nurture cute baby ant eggs as they glow and grow to fill the nursery space.
  • Shrink down into supersized blades of grass and help worker ants gather food and keep the colony safe from external dangers.

From creators of the award-winning exhibition Tyama, Antopia is perfect for families, kids and adults. This contemporary and immersive fusion of art x science is for everyone and promises an adventure like no other.

 


Hello humans.

You sense the world strangely.

You miss many little things. Like us.

Maybe you think we are too small, boring, dull, unimportant. Annoying.

But our language and perfumes are more vibrant and complex than you imagine.

We will help you understand. We will show you our hidden colours.

Come with us.

Follow the trail of lights...
