Bug World: A special exhibition at NHMU
Natural History Museum of Utah
Imagine What’s Possible in a World Built by Bugs!
Precision flight, swarm intelligence, mind control… bugs can do it all — and they’re doing it better than humans! Bug World is a larger-than-life exhibition that showcases the fantastical yet real-life abilities of bugs in an experience like no other. Featuring immersive environments and towering replicas, Bug World offers a mind-bending perspective on the incredible — but often overlooked — genius of insects and how they’re inspiring solutions to humankind’s most complex problems. You’ll never look at bugs the same way again!
Bug World was created by the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa and built by Wētā Workshop, the five-time Academy Award-winning special effects masters behind The Lord of the Rings and Avatar. They teamed up with Te Papa Tongarewa Museum of New Zealand to use their masterful modeling and set design to unveil the genius of insects like you’ve never seen before.

Natural History Museum of Utah
Imagine What’s Possible in a World Built by Bugs!
Precision flight, swarm intelligence, mind control… bugs can do it all — and they’re doing it better than humans! Bug World is a larger-than-life exhibition that showcases the fantastical yet real-life abilities of bugs in an experience like no other. Featuring immersive environments and towering replicas, Bug World offers a mind-bending perspective on the incredible — but often overlooked — genius of insects and how they’re inspiring solutions to humankind’s most complex problems. You’ll never look at bugs the same way again!
Bug World was created by the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa and built by Wētā Workshop, the five-time Academy Award-winning special effects masters behind The Lord of the Rings and Avatar. They teamed up with Te Papa Tongarewa Museum of New Zealand to use their masterful modeling and set design to unveil the genius of insects like you’ve never seen before.

Natural History Museum of Utah
Imagine What’s Possible in a World Built by Bugs!
Precision flight, swarm intelligence, mind control… bugs can do it all — and they’re doing it better than humans! Bug World is a larger-than-life exhibition that showcases the fantastical yet real-life abilities of bugs in an experience like no other. Featuring immersive environments and towering replicas, Bug World offers a mind-bending perspective on the incredible — but often overlooked — genius of insects and how they’re inspiring solutions to humankind’s most complex problems. You’ll never look at bugs the same way again!
Bug World was created by the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa and built by Wētā Workshop, the five-time Academy Award-winning special effects masters behind The Lord of the Rings and Avatar. They teamed up with Te Papa Tongarewa Museum of New Zealand to use their masterful modeling and set design to unveil the genius of insects like you’ve never seen before.

Natural History Museum of Utah
Imagine What’s Possible in a World Built by Bugs!
Precision flight, swarm intelligence, mind control… bugs can do it all — and they’re doing it better than humans! Bug World is a larger-than-life exhibition that showcases the fantastical yet real-life abilities of bugs in an experience like no other. Featuring immersive environments and towering replicas, Bug World offers a mind-bending perspective on the incredible — but often overlooked — genius of insects and how they’re inspiring solutions to humankind’s most complex problems. You’ll never look at bugs the same way again!
Bug World was created by the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa and built by Wētā Workshop, the five-time Academy Award-winning special effects masters behind The Lord of the Rings and Avatar. They teamed up with Te Papa Tongarewa Museum of New Zealand to use their masterful modeling and set design to unveil the genius of insects like you’ve never seen before.

Bug World: A special exhibition at NHMU
Natural History Museum of Utah
Imagine What’s Possible in a World Built by Bugs!
Precision flight, swarm intelligence, mind control… bugs can do it all — and they’re doing it better than humans! Bug World is a larger-than-life exhibition that showcases the fantastical yet real-life abilities of bugs in an experience like no other. Featuring immersive environments and towering replicas, Bug World offers a mind-bending perspective on the incredible — but often overlooked — genius of insects and how they’re inspiring solutions to humankind’s most complex problems. You’ll never look at bugs the same way again!
Bug World was created by the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa and built by Wētā Workshop, the five-time Academy Award-winning special effects masters behind The Lord of the Rings and Avatar. They teamed up with Te Papa Tongarewa Museum of New Zealand to use their masterful modeling and set design to unveil the genius of insects like you’ve never seen before.
Museum admission, including this special exhibit, is free for Univers…
