The earth has spent many million years on developing solutions to problems it has faced. Nearly all of nature's materials are produced with a minimal resources, at a normal temperature, without a lot of energy and with recycling of waste. Nature is sustainable.

By studying the best ideas, shapes and processes of natura, one can also solve human problems in a sustainable way. This field of innovation is called "biomimicry".
 
The exhibition Ask Nature opens at 1500 hrs on Friday the 29th of April at the The Natural History Musuem at Tøyen Hovedgård in Oslo.

The exhibition is a collaboration between The Natural History Museum and BiomimicryNorway.
