Amazing! All intelligent! Exhibit
From animal cognition to artificial intelligence, passing by human and plant intelligence, we now know that there exists not only ONE but MANY intelligences. And that they are not only reserved to humans. In between interactive games, experiences, pictures, 3D impressions, interviews and films, this entertaining exhibit shows us that we still have a lot to learn!
