Taxidermy, models, films, media installations and graphics provide insights into the biology and living environment of storks. In addition, the oriental fairy tale of the Caliph Stork is presented in atmospheric pictures as a slide show and as a wonderful silhouette film by Lotte Reiniger with musical accompaniment.
