Meeting #9: Vapriiki – Museums day

“Let´s go to the museum!”
“… it will be fun – they said …”
“… you see a lot of great stuff – they said …”

… and in fact – that all was true!
For me it already was the second time I have visited the Vapriiki museum here in Tampere but still there were some things to explore.

Together we went through the different exhibitions like the icehockey and Tampere history exhibition, but also rooms with stuffed wild animals and historic pieces of Finnish technonlogy.
Today’s aim was it to get to know the flora and fauna better and to learn the right vocabulary – such as names of them. So we went through the rooms, picked an animal and named it in our language. After that we talked a bit about it – what special abilities does it have, what colour is its fur and what kind of animal is it… We learned a lot of new words and also something about the animals and nature in Mexico. As Oscar explained before, Mexico not only consists of deserts. So there are not only reptiles living there but also a great amount of different ape species, wild cats, wolves, coyotes and even pelicans.

The whole trip was a very interesting way to learn new things, because it was a very visual way and also a very calm area where we were able to concentrate on our stuff. Maybe that was one thing that sometimes bothered our meetings a bit before, since we often connected it with events.

After playing a lot with the woodcutting simulator in the end, we went on our way back home.
