International Museum Day has been celebrated worldwide on 18 June every year since 1978. On this special day, museums focus on their diversity and importance. This year’s theme: “The Future of Museums in Rapidly Changing Communities”

At Ballenberg, we are taking a stand for nature. Under the annual theme “Biodiversity – Ballenberg in Bloom!”, we invite you to take an active role: enhance a meadow as a habitat for insects together with Verterra or take an exciting short tour. With your help, we promote biodiversity and create a valuable food source for insects.

Get inspired on how you can promote biodiversity at home! Verterra’s team of experts is available throughout the day with valuable tips and practical instructions. The planting campaign will take place at the bowling alley from Neuchâtel (behind NE 111).

Our storytellers will also be out and about on this day to whisk you away to the magical fairytale world of plants with specially selected fairy tales. Our popular Fairytale Sundays take place once a month and immerse young and old in legendary stories.
