Temporary Exhibition - Cold
Adults and children from 10 years
In the collective imagination, the cold has long been associated with a manifestation of nature that we face during the winter months. It evokes in some a chill, a sensation, a picture, a weather phenomenon or even a taste. But finally what is the cold?
Truly immersed in the world of cold, this exhibition invites us to experience the great thrill and gives us the keys to understand the mechanisms and uses behind this phenone. This is through three different worlds: challenges for life, challenges for society and challenges for science.
