Humanity’s relationship with the world is explored through this provocative and enlightening exhibit.
The term Anthropocene refers to our current geological moment in Earth’s history, marking the significant human impact on the planet’s geology and ecosystems.
Visitor experience is at the core of the exhibition, which is reflected in the distinct spaces built into the gallery. The entrance is designed to introduce the Anthropocene as a geological era and a cultural concept. Visitors then move into a larger area that presents evidence of the Anthropocene with data and specimens like coal and slag that connect to our region’s industrial history and taxidermy birds and mammals affected by human activity. The exhibition ends with spaces designed to help visitors process new information and inspire action with information and individual measures we can take to help the environment with community-level actions that scale up collective impact.
