“Darkness and Silence: Animals That Cannot See or Hear” is an outdoor exhibition displayed on the façade of the Nature Education Center of the Tatra National Park in Zakopane.

The exhibition showcases local heroes of the Tatra Mountains — animals that cannot see or hear. These include the springtail, the European mole, the blind cavefish, and the Tatra groundwater amphipod. The visual layer features illustrations of the Tatra landscape and the animal heroes, presented in a mysterious and subdued color palette and form. The illustrations are complemented by text designed in accordance with the Tatra National Park’s brandbook.
