The exhibition deals with 24 themes in four main categories. It is shown among others how glaciers build up, how they form the landscape, and why they play an important role in the search for knowledge about past and future climate.
The Ulltveit-Moe Climate Centre is part of the museum and takes you on a journey through time, from the creation of the earth, through the last ice age and finally to the year 2100.
