Discover the secrets of the night: Special exhibition in the Museum Lower Austria!

On Friday, March 21st, the new special exhibition “Animals of the Night” will open at 6.30 p.m. in the Lower Austria Museum in St. Pölten. This fascinating show, which will be shown by February 8, 2026, illuminates the amazing flora and fauna in the dark. The exhibition, curated by Michael Stocker and Ronald Lintner, impressively gives visitors how different living things such as bats, owls and grilling have adapted to the low -light conditions. "The night is full of life, plants also start to smell or bloom," explains Lintner and invites the guests to sharpen their senses into the mysterious world of the night, like ots.at reported.
