Climate of Change / Clima de Cambio
Step into our newest permanent exhibit where curiosity meets action. The Nancy Stueber Natural Sciences Hall: Climate of Change / Clima de Cambio invites you to explore a powerful question: what can we cultivate together?
Through immersive, hands-on experiences, explore how people and the environment are deeply connected, and people of all ages can be empowered to take informed action on today’s climate challenges.
Created in collaboration with more than 15 regional partners, Climate of Change / Clima de Cambio amplifies local voices and real-world solutions—from Indigenous leaders to youth changemakers shaping the future of climate storytelling.
Some highlights include:
- A striking entrance sculpture made from reclaimed yellow cedar mass-timber construction in partnership with Timberlab.
- An immersive multimedia experience developed by Tellart exploring the interconnectedness of people and the natural world.
- A story theater featuring short films about communities leading place-based solutions to climate change.
- A reimagined Science on a Sphere® installation featuring new content.
- Murals by local artists Daren Todd and Lettie Jane Renekamp on themes of community and connection.
- And many other interactive, hands-on elements and learning modules.
