Butterfly Garden was an installation of more than 21,500 butterflies in different areas of the children’s museum, mainly in the garden as part of the repositioning activities of the museum’s green areas.
One of the objectives of the project was to raise awareness about the importance of butterflies within our ecological environment, for this reason, the museographic proposal was based on materials with low environmental impact, as well as reused and recycled materials.
Based on the study of the morphology and coloring of butterflies, 4,200 waste X-rays were used, which were converted into thousands of butterflies.
For the lobby area of the museum, an installation of butterflies made of corn leaves was developed to represent the Mexican butterfly and to awaken the curiosity, emotion and surprise of visitors when they enter the museum.
In the lobby of the mega-screen, a path of butterflies was placed to guide visitors to the projection room and the garden, which evoked a forest full of butterflies. In addition to children’s workshops, large light boxes with interactive infographics were displayed in one of the garden huts to learn more about the morphology, migration and conservation of butterflies.
