Over Heels for Antarctica!

From Koksijde to the South Pole — a summer exhibition for the whole family

Looking for an adventurous journey without packing your suitcase? This summer, Duinenhuis invites you to discover the coldest and most mysterious continent on Earth: Antarctica! From June 14 to September 14, explore everything about this fascinating icy paradise in the interactive exhibition “UPSIDE DOWN In the White World.”

What Makes Antarctica So Special?
From pancake ice to penguins and plankton — step into a world full of surprises. With colourful illustrations, fun hands-on activities, and child-friendly explanations, you’ll dive into the story of the planet’s most untouched region. The exhibition is ideal for curious children and adults with a warm heart for our planet.

Did You Know... a Fish Can Swim From Koksijde to Antarctica?
Through the North Sea and the oceans, we are more connected to the South Pole than you might think. And what happens there also affects us here. This exhibition helps you understand why caring for this unique area is so important — and what you can do yourself.

A Unique Look Behind the Scenes
The exhibition was created together with polar explorers Lien De Ruyck and photographer Mike Louagie, and beautifully illustrated by rising talent Lucas Suykens. Their stories and images bring Antarctica vividly to life. Want to learn more? On Monday, September 1, Mike and Lien will host an exclusive talk about their fascination with the white world.
