Whatever your opinion on the subject -like if the phenomenon was controversial, the exhibition is spectacular! Do not waste time as it ends on September 23rd. The entrance to the exhibition is open to all, free and worth seeing.

By the time your eyes become accustomed to the darkness, you will see exclusively visual testimonies of the damages caused by the exploitation of fossil energies, especially coal; melting glaciers in the Himalayas, extreme weather events around the world, but also a hard to bear testimony of the conditions in coal mining; some pictures are very recent. No less than 40 artists from around the world contributed. The images are spectacular and do not need comments. Just open your eyes.
Do not hesitate to go behind the wall of giant screens at the back of the building, near the curtains and discover the “solutions” space. This more educational zone brings together elements of sometimes unexpected solutions. Everything is not lost if we act quickly and creatively.
We could not take our eyes off a lot of photos...
