Through exhibits and expert insights, as well as numerous experiments, hands-on stations and interactive elements, the exhibition brings the complex topic of climate change to life. It encourages visitors to reflect – and aims to inspire!
Visitors learn how humanity’s relationship with the environment has changed from the last Ice Age through the advent of agriculture to the present day, and how – particularly since the Industrial Revolution – we have increasingly influenced the climate. As you walk through the exhibition, you will encounter objects from prehistoric times and the present day. They invite you to discover connections between life today and prehistory.
