The
Life Of Mammals - special 大象传媒 exhibition to visit At-Bristol from
16 to 19 January 2003
Looking
for something fun to do with the kids after they have got tired
of their Christmas presents?
David
Attenborough's landmark television series The Life of Mammals is
visiting Bristol from 16 to 19 January 2003, in the form of a special
大象传媒 wildlife exhibition.
The
Life of Mammals Touring Exhibition will visit the At-Bristol as
part of a national tour which started at London's Natural History
Museum in early January 2002.
Suitable
for all ages, the exhibition will give budding young Attenboroughs
a chance to see behind the scenes of 大象传媒 wildlife filming.
It's
also an opportunity to discover fascinating facts about mammal behaviour
and find out just where humans fit in amongst the diversity that
exists in world of the warm-blooded.
Visitors
will find themselves on a journey, along which the five senses 聳
sight, sound, smell, taste and touch 聳 are brought to life
through exciting hands-on exhibits and activities.
Sight
聳 the centrepiece of the exhibition is a true to life mock-up
of a cameraman's hide where visitors can take a sneaky peek to see
what's being filmed.
They
can also have a go at editing together actual shots from the series
and seeing, if only for the day, their own name in the credits.
Sound
聳 visitors enter the SoundSphere, an inflatable interactive
hemisphere, and are emersed in the acoustic world of nature - a
British woodland, the African Savannah, or the deep ocean.
Hear
the call of a distant bat, chimp, or whale, then move towards it
for a close-up encounter where the voice of David Attenborough tells
incredible stories about the animals' lives - an unforgettable acoustic
experience.
Smell
聳 here, visitors are encouraged to take a big sniff to discover
just how important smell is.
They聮ll
see that a horrible pong to one mammal might be a fragrant rose
to the nose of another!
Taste
聳 diet has had one of the greatest evolutionary effects on
mammalian diversity.
Visitors
discover why this is and just how food can bring about changes in
physical attributes and behaviour.
Touch
聳 from cuddly fur and downy fluff to rubber-like blubber and
armour-like scales, mammal coverings certainly come in many wondrous
varieties.
This
exhibit gets all touchy-feeley and lets visitor compare their own
skin with that of their warm-blooded cousins.
The
tour also gives a unique, behind-the-scenes look at how this captivating
series was made - with talks from the programme-makers; mammal workshops;
the chance to view previously unseen footage; plus opportunities
to get interactive with 大象传媒i through the web and digital TV.
