The centre occupies a multi-level tropical conservatory where living butterflies fly among trees, flowers, water and dense planting. Glass architecture maintains light, humidity and temperature within a controlled environment.

Chrysalises, caterpillars and adults reveal different stages of metamorphosis. Wing shape, colour and flight patterns vary between species and connect with camouflage, display and feeding.

Entomology galleries extend the route towards beetles, ants and other arthropods. The centre combines zoology, botany and indoor climate. Its distinctive quality lies in turning insect life cycles into a visible and dynamic tropical landscape.
