Making ants

It's crawling with ants! Join in & make your own

Right now our museum is crawling with ants. And they're as big as a dog! Colombian artist Rafael Gomezbarros made them. He also made this workshop accompanying them. Join in and make your own ant.

Ants are hard working and social animals. Rafael Gomezbarros created this workshop, in which children make their own ants with clay and twigs, meanwhile telling stories to each other about going (or having to go) away from home and getting to new places.
