With over 75,000 individual objects, the insect collections are the largest part of the Winterthur Nature Museum's collection.

How do curators deal with such large collections? How do they document and inventory these collections? The curators ask themselves these questions in their daily work - and you can join in the discussion.

In the cozy setting of the "Boost Bar", they talk about how they deal with large collections. You have the opportunity to talk directly to those responsible: Ask questions, find out the background and gain new perspectives. In keeping with the current temporary exhibition "Crawlers - uncannily fascinating", parts of the insect collections that are otherwise stored behind the scenes will be shown on site.

A fascinating look into the hidden stories of a large collection - direct, personal and open to your curiosity. The Curators' Café will be held on the following dates in 2026:

- Sunday, September 6, 2026, Coral Stories
- Sunday, November 29, 2026, egg stories

With Sabrina Schnurrenberger, Curator Biology and Sandra Scherrer, Curator Earth Sciences

The entrance fee is excl. consumption.
