We Started With a Passion.
We Built It Into an Exhibition.
Taranterra is a Romanian travelling live-animal exhibition concept built by a team of specialists in exotic animal keeping, exhibition design, and educational programming. What began as a shared fascination with some of the world's most misunderstood creatures has grown into one of the largest travelling live-animal exhibitions operating in Europe today.
We design, build, and operate exhibitions that bring tarantulas, reptiles, amphibians, and exotic invertebrates face to face with the public — inside museums, shopping centres, and public venues — always with our own team managing every detail from installation to closing day.
What We're Here to Do
MISSION & VISION
Mission:
Our mission is to make encounters with the natural world accessible, safe, and genuinely memorable. We build exhibitions where visitors — from curious five-year-olds to sceptical adults — leave with a different perspective on species they were afraid of or had never seen before.
Every display, every terrarium, and every educational panel exists to make that shift happen.
Vision:
We are building a portfolio of exhibition formats capable of operating in any major venue in Europe. Our goal is to grow from a regional success story into a recognised name in travelling live-animal exhibitions — known for the quality of our collections, the rigour of our animal care, and the measurable value we create for every partner venue.
What We Stand For
VALUES
Animal welfare above everything
The welfare of our animals is non-negotiable. Every terrarium is climate-controlled, species-appropriate, and managed by trained keepers. Our collections are not staging — they are living environments, built for long-term animal health as much as visitor experience.
Education, not just spectacle
We think curiosity is one of the most valuable things an exhibition can produce. Everything we display is accompanied by clear, accurate species information — because an engaged visitor learns something, and a visitor who learns something comes back.
Partnership built on accountability
Venue partners trust us with their space, their visitor base, and their reputation. We take that seriously. Our operating model is designed to remove every burden from the host team and deliver on the commitments we make — commercially and operationally.
Continuous improvement
Our exhibitions evolve with every run. We monitor visitor feedback, track engagement, and refine the experience. The version of Taranterra a venue hosts today is better than the one that ran last year — and we intend to keep it that way.
Where We're Going
OBJECTIVES
Taranterra enters 2026 with a focused expansion plan. We are actively growing our network of commercial centre partnerships across Romania, targeting venues that want a distinctive family attraction with proven footfall impact. Simultaneously, we are developing long-term institutional partnerships with museums and science centres for extended exhibition runs of three to six months.
Beyond Romania, international expansion is a defined next step. We are building the exhibition infrastructure, the operational documentation, and the partner network required to bring our formats to venues across Central and Eastern Europe — and further.
Our objective is straightforward: more venues, more visitors, more species, higher standards.
