Join the University of Minnesota Climate Adaptation Partnership (MCAP) at the Bell Museum to celebrate the opening of the new Snow: Tiny Crystals, Global Impact exhibit (more info to be announced) and participate in Spotlight Science: Climate Solutions from 10 am to 2 pm. Connect with climate researchers and extension educators, check out hands-on demonstrations, explore the Snow exhibit, and learn how you can contribute to climate solutions. MCAP members will also be on hand to chat climate with the public and answer a blizzard of questions. As an added bonus, visitors to the Bell can take in the special planetarium show, Atlas of a Changing Earth, a stunning film visualizing the processes affecting our warming planet.

About Snow: Tiny Crystals, Global Impact  

The Bell Museum—Minnesota’s state natural history museum—will feature Snow: Tiny Crystals, Global Impact, a hands-on science exhibition about the nature and wonder of snow and the impact of climate change on our snowy planet. The exhibition follows snow’s journey from tiny crystals to vast winter landscapes to abundant spring snowmelt. Visitors can explore how snow shapes and sustains life on Earth, snow’s vital roles in sustaining our water supply and cooling our planet, and the cultural and personal value of snow. Snow was developed and produced by OMSI (the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry) as part of a collaborative project led by the University of Alaska Fairbanks and funded by the National Science Foundation.
