Klimaatmuseum at the UvA

This academic year (2023-2024) we are developing a pop-up Klimaatmuseum at the UvA, together with students. The opening will take place in May 2024, with installations, art and programs. The mission? Making the climate crisis more comprehensible and tangible, and offering surprising and inspiring perspectives, so that we can move more actively and urgently towards a sustainable world. In the Klimaatmuseum you will discover, among other things, what climate research is being done at the UvA across various faculties. The multidisciplinary approach will provide new insights on the topic.
