New Installation Alert! 📣 Our iconic Polar Gallery (home of the iceberg) now has a new installation called “Goodbye Glaciers!?”, an exhibit that uses cutting edge data mapping to visualise how real mountain and alpine glaciers could change in a warming world.

This installation was made with our new Gallery Engagement Partner, Earthwave: an Edinburgh-based science and technology company that uses satellites to study our planet.

Take a look at this exhibit on your next visit to our Galleries! 🌍
