Spoorwegmuseum – Spoordieren

For the Dutch Railway Museum I developed a set of Animal Characters for the “Spoordieren” exhibition for children 4-12 years old. These “Railway Animals” live around the railway tracks and need their habitats protected while the trains need to ride safely on the same track.

Kids will discover the remarkable lives of animals that live near the railway, such as badgers, beavers and storks. How do the animals encounter trains? And how do we ensure that humans and animals can coexist safely?

How big do you think a badger is? Do you think you could lift a swan? In addition to lots of fun facts about different animals, you can also get hands-on. Dig like a badger, crawl through a railway tunnel like a lizard, or climb into a stork’s nest and pretend the trains are rushing past beneath you!
