The Exhibition

What actually is climate? Which effects does it have on life on Earth and which effects do human actions have on it? Are natural disasters recently increasing in numbers or have there always been extreme changes?

The exhibition “climate and man. life in eXtremes” offers surprising answers. Within a designed landscape the visitors walk through the past six million years. From the mummified mammoth baby “Dima” to a genetically manipulated pig, from 1.8 million years old stone tools from the Olduvai-gorge in Africa to modern UV-protection clothing from Australia, from petrified leaves to the solar cell – by over 800 important exhibits from all over the world the visitors experience how humans, animals and plants reacted to climate changes. And how humans especially since the beginning of industrialization increasingly influence the climate.

At the end the visitors face the future: how will the development of the Earth’s climate continue and which consequences will that have for mankind?
