of the diversity of life on earth, the connection between humans and nature, and exploration of the origins of our being
The eye, the most complex organ, is our connection to the world. The reality perceived by any living creature depends on the structure of its optic nerve. Exploring the diversity of eyes in nature, it's hard not to be fascinated by the intricacy and originality of nature's design. It is truly astonishing to imagine the incredible range of images of reality that can exist.
Since ancient times, people have found food, medicines, poisons and even magical substances in mushrooms. Penicillin, the important substance in medicine, was discovered in fungi only about 100 years ago. What other secrets will the diversity of this kingdom of microorganisms reveal to scientists if they do not have time to capture our world?
This bird has been associated with wisdom, prophecy, magic, and even death in various cultures and mythologies. In Norse mythology, the god of wisdom Odin used a raven to gather information about the world. What will they bring to you? Anxiety and fear, or if you trust them, will they protect you from evil forces?

What is the human's place in the natural world?
Are we, endowed with imagination, the masters of all things on earth?
Do we oppose animals or are we just another part of it?
Are we rational and considerate in our treatment of the rest of the animal world, or has our imagination granted us such power that we can destroy everything around us?
