Water, this planet's precious
resource, plays a huge role in our lives. It
surrounds us, covering nearly three-quarters of Earth’s surface. It
sustains us as an essential component to life on Earth. And today, it
challenges us to be more conscious of its consumption. Experience water as never before in this engaging and thought-provoking exhibition for the
whole family.
Enter the exhibition through a wall of fog into a world of wonder that
invites you to explore the many ways water impacts life on Earth. Learn about how life adapts to some of the wettest and driest
conditions on the planet. Touch water in its three physical states and
examine the water cycle projected on a 68-inch globe.

fishing village. Discover the many ways that people have put water to use
throughout history, then see how it is used today in our everyday lives.
