我們生活在充滿種子的世界裡，您能想像沒有種子的世界嗎？在人類前行的路上，不論是做為糧食或生態系的重要組成，種子都絕不可能缺席。在《孩籽 – 聽種子的故事》，我們希望帶給大家許多關於種子的故事。本特展共分四項主題：《充滿孩籽的世界》由策展人遴選七項與種子相關的生活應用例，除強調種子的無所不在，也希望拉近觀眾與展場主題的距離。《孩籽的前世今生》由生活應用轉進自然史領域，展開種子植物的演化史。《孩籽的生命力》由種子本身的構造開始談起，緊接著是種子與果實之間的親密關係，以及種子搭配果實在旅行與休眠上的神奇能力，最後結尾於種子驚人的壽齡。觀眾可在此觀賞到各式各樣的實體種子，以及它們背後的生態故事。結尾處的《孩籽與永續》則談比較嚴肅的話題：種子保種。 We live in a world full of seeds. Can you imagine what our world would be like without them? Just think: What is the source of the energy support our daily activities? Where does coffee come from? What part do seeds play in making Valentine’s Day chocolate or birthday cake? Seeds: A Story of Eras will guide you through tales of your everyday life, of plants evolving through time, and of seeds and fruit coming together to compose ecological symphonies… From self-initiated explosions, stowaways, to sea-faring individuals, the diversity in seed ecology is mind-blowing! But by the end of our journey, we will have come to realize the importance of a topic we have often neglected in the past: the issue of seed conservation.
