Planet Ice: Mysteries of the Ice Ages is an immersive, interactive exhibition that examines ice ages through a new lens. It explores how throughout time, cold and ice have shaped the Earth and impacted its inhabitants. Throughout the exhibition, we connect the story to the present by posing thought-provoking questions about how changes in ice affect our world, while also examining possible solutions.
