The theme of World Environment Day in 2026 is climate change, and it will be visible both in the puppet theater performance shown at the event and in the workshops. The museum area and the surrounding local nature will once again transform for a day full of cheerful nature activities, from which participants will take home memories and new things learned. Welcome to join with the whole family!

The event is free of charge.
