@ Molten Universe Cyril begins his experience of Earth and Fire! Molten Universe Fire and water and earth combine, is this world emerging to join the universe, or is its time over, descending into oblivion.
While experiencing the Elements, you met Chilly.
Cyril shook paws with Chilly the Black Happy Penguin. They both received one silver mole!
Purple Flower Power Egg My pets are in awe of these beautiful eggs—they would love to try to paint their own one year. Easter and spring are times of joy as the earth awakens, plants are pushing forth from the soil, and the days are becoming warmer. Many baby animals are born in the spring, and life is burgeoning. May these eggs bring you joy and be a reminder of the earth renewing itself.
Plasma Phenomenon A beautiful purply-green plasma phenomenon. You can almost feel the energy fizzing from it!

@ Earth Tones Cyril and Choose a name had shaken paws and took some time to enjoy the exhibits in a companionable silence! Earth Tones Don't you just love these rust-like, earthy, orange tones? They provide a brilliant way to embrace the calming properties of nature in your home and are very "in" at the moment!
While experiencing the Elements, you met Choose a name.
Cyril shook paws with Choose a name the Tabby Cat. They both received one silver mole!
@ Nature in Neon The ancient Greeks believed that there were four elements that everything was made up of: earth, water, air and fire. This theory was suggested around 450 BCE, and it was later supported and added to by Aristotle. Aristotle also suggested that there was a fifth element, aether, because it seemed strange that the stars would be made out of earthly elements. He would be surprised to learn that they are in fact made up of many elements found on earth, and are so hot they could be said to be on fire all the time! Nature in Neon This map of the continents has a stark black background that emphasises the colourful neon creatures in an eye-catching way.
While experiencing the Elements, you met Snowball.
Cyril shook paws with Snowball the Arctic Feisty Fox. They both received one silver mole!
@ Firework Trails "Why do we get sea breezes, Cyril?" queried Wyatt. Cyril looked baffled. "I don't know, Wyatt! We just do!" Wyatt read out from the brochure: " 'Sea breezes occur because heat from the sun takes longer to warm the sea than the land, creating a difference in air pressure.' So—there it is." Firework Trails Sparks shoot out and leave trails of light, only for a moment, like the memories of all the fireworks gone before.
While experiencing the Elements, you met Wyatt.
Cyril shook paws with Wyatt the Green Beautiful Unicorn. They both received one silver mole!
@ Spark Of Celebration "Pinotte, just look at this exhibit! Isn't it amazing?” "It certainly is, Cyril! Perhaps they'll have it in postcard size in the gift shop!"

The fizz and crackle of a sparkler held in hand bring delight, casting its tiny glow on happy faces.
While experiencing the Elements, you met Pinotte.
Cyril shook paws with Pinotte the Ragdoll Kitten. They both received one silver mole!
@ Celebrate With Candles The doldrums is a wind-free area around the equator where sailing ships used to get stuck for weeks. Hence the phrase ‘in the doldrums’. Celebrate With Candles Ever since candles were invented by the Romans in 500 BC, candles have been a part of celebrations and life in general. A candle is a light to banish the darkness, placed in a window as a beacon for a weary traveller. Candles have been used to tell the passing of time, to warm a room, and as a symbol of hope. That tiny flame means so much to so many people.
While experiencing the Elements, you met Nanuk.
Cyril shook paws with Nanuk the Blue Polar Bear. They both received one silver mole!
@ Campfire At Night "There's a fun project in our brochure on how to make a weather vane from an ice cream container lid, scissors, a marker pen, a skewer, a straw and a pin," remarked Cyril. "Cool!" responded Ziggy. "We could make a start when we get back to our hotel tonight." Campfire At Night The earthy, musky scent, the crackle, and pop as gas is released from the wood, the warmth and soft light emitted by the dancing flames, this is a campfire, a welcoming place to relax and tell stories when the adventures of the day spent outdoors are done.
While experiencing the Elements, you met Ziggy.
Cyril shook paws with Ziggy the Midnight Happy Dragon. They both received one silver mole!
@ Remains Of The Light "When was silver identified as an element?" "Eek—no idea, Baja!" "Don't worry, Cyril! It was as far back as 4000 BCE!" Remains Of The Light Wispy trails are all that remain when the candle is extinguished. The smoke swirls and curls and heads ever upward on currents of air until even the smoke has vanished.
While experiencing the Elements, you met Baja.
Cyril shook paws with Baja the Sparkling Snow Foxee. They both received one silver mole!
@ Flamboyant Phoenix "What unit of measure is used for wind speed, Cyril?" asked Pearl. "Um—I don't know—miles per hour?" hazarded Cyril. "No. The knot." "Oh, Pearl, I thought that was to do with sailing?" Pearl consulted the tour guide. " 'A knot is a unit of speed equivalent to one nautical mile per hour, used especially of ships, aircraft, or winds.' There you go." Flamboyant Phoenix Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's a phoenix of colourful smoke effects!
While experiencing the Elements, you met Pearl.
Cyril shook paws with Pearl the Posh Peacock. They both received one silver mole!
@ Abstract of Smoke Cyril was very happy to meet Adept Sanitation Juggernaut here! They both swapped tales of their experiences of their tour of the art gallery wings so far!

@ Tender Life “If there's time at the end of the day when we get back to our accommodation, I might do some initial sketches for a watercolour painting from the postcard I bought in the gift shop," SPARKLES said, offering Cyril a toffee from the bag and then unwrapping one for herself. “That sounds like a good plan, SPARKLES!" said Cyril. "Very relaxing, and your painting will be a great souvenir of our trip through the Elements!" Tender Life Starting from seed and some moisture, warmth, and the ability to find water even though tiny cracks in concrete, the little plant struggles upward and continues to grow.
While experiencing the Elements, you met SPARKLES.
Cyril shook paws with SPARKLES the Blue Beautiful Unicorn. They both received one silver mole!
@ A Little Fern Seeks The Sun The fastest gust of wind ever recorded on Earth was 253 miles per hour. A Little Fern Seeks The Sun Tiny stem, delicate fronds, a new fern has struggled and pushed its way from beneath the soil to seek the sun as it continues to grow.
While experiencing the Elements, you met Majestic.
Cyril shook paws with Majestic the Blue Beautiful Unicorn. They both received one silver mole!
@ Leave A Light On "When was silver identified as an element?" "Eek—no idea, Nicole!" "Don't worry, Cyril! It was as far back as 4000 BCE!" Leave A Light On Light chases away the darkness and reveals what our imagination would make into horror as nothing more than a jacket over a chair. Light reveals dangers, so don't wander into that room without light, or you may encounter the legendary lego trap and your feet will forever feel betrayed.
While experiencing the Elements, you met Nicole.
Cyril shook paws with Nicole the Playful Penguin. They both received one silver mole!

While experiencing the Elements, you met Misha.
Cyril shook paws with Misha the Foxfire the Red Panda. They both received one silver mole!
@ River Thames From the Air The ancient Greeks believed that there were four elements that everything was made up of: earth, water, air and fire. This theory was suggested around 450 BCE, and it was later supported and added to by Aristotle. Aristotle also suggested that there was a fifth element, aether, because it seemed strange that the stars would be made out of earthly elements. He would be surprised to learn that they are in fact made up of many elements found on earth, and are so hot they could be said to be on fire all the time! River Thames From the Air Starting as a small trickle in the Cotswolds, the River Thames travels over 210 miles (338km) through the heart of some of England’s most picturesque towns, right into the centre of London and eventually, out into the North Sea. Here we see it snaking its way through central London.
While experiencing the Elements, you met Violet.
Cyril shook paws with Violet the Pearl White Peacock. They both received one silver mole!
@ Determination Of Life When humans and animals breathe, we give off an odorless gas called carbon dioxide, or CO2. Plants use this gas, along with sunlight, to make food—and oxygen too! This process is called photosynthesis. Determination Of Life Fragile green life fights against all odds to burst forth into the air. The determination of living things to grow and thrive is magical, inspiring, and perfectly natural.

Cyril shook paws with Pony Pony the Yellow Maned Pony. They both received one silver mole!
@ Aerial View, France "Do you know how matches came to be invented, Choose a name?" queried Cyril. "No, how, Cyril?" "An English apothecary, John Walker, used a stick to stir a pot containing antimony sulphide, potassium chlorate & sulphur and some of the mixture stuck to the end of the stick. When he tried to scrape the lump, it easily caught fire and this led to the birth of friction matches. This was in 1827." Aerial View, France This panoramic aerial view of a patchwork of agricultural fields in rural France is an amazing image.
While experiencing the Elements, you met Choose a name.
Cyril shook paws with Choose a name the Tabby Cat. They both received one silver mole!

@ Festive Candle "The Great Fire of 1666 started in London, on Pudding Lane, in a baker's shop. The baker believed he had put the fire out but in the middle of the night the fire grew and his house was in flames. Pudding Lane is still there today. If you want to visit it, Monument is the nearest tube station. The place where the fire started is also marked by a monument topped by a fiery gold ornament," said Cyril. "It makes it sound like it's the only monument in London, Cyril!" chuckled Mitsy. Festive Candle Find the matches, turn down the lights, light the candle and enjoy.

@ Meditation In Pink "Wow! It says here in our brochure that there’s a bush called dictamnus albus which emits a flammable, oily substance which can be lit on fire, without burning the bush itself," remarked Cyril. "Wow indeedy!" responded Nermal Stingray. Meditation In Pink Celebrations are made of this, looking back while anticipating what is to come. The soft glow of a lit candle catches the eye, draws you in, and erases the now—for a moment.
While experiencing the Elements, you met Nermal Stingray.
Cyril shook paws with Nermal Stingray the Grey Playful Kitten. They both received one silver mole!

@ USA at Night "Depending on their strength, winds can be known as a breeze, gale, storm or hurricane. Wind is caused by differences in air pressure.

Cyril shook paws with fancy the Blue Beautiful Unicorn. They both received one silver mole!
@ Magic Of A Candle As Cyril's experience of "Earth and Fire" comes to an end, he receives a wonderful gift! Double Blooms Flower, Violet Looking like a watercolour that Monet would be proud of, this delicate violet flower duo will add a touch of softness and romance to your art.
Magic Of A Candle Candles are magical, they bring smiles when the room is darkened and the birthday cake is brought in with all the candles alight. Candles bring a feeling of coziness and romance when placed on a dining table and the lights are turned down low. Candles light the footpath, can warm a room, and light a darkened corner. Cyril has completed his exploration of "Earth and Fire"! Please select another pet as visitor, so it can also explore the Elements!
