Everyone knows what cold is. At least, everyone thinks they know, because in truth, the cold is a very particular phenomenon that contains many facets like a snowflake. But thanks to the Cité des Sciences and its exhibition on the cold visible until September 16, 2018, all your questions on the subject will find their answer and even more.
Multiple topics for a global vision
The exhibition, playful as always at the Cité des Sciences, offers a whole panorama of the cold. The different types of cold, the uses of cold, the history of refrigeration, but also the different strategies of life to protect against the ravages of cold and frost (hibernation, stasis, particular vascular system, etc.). On this side, special mention to the tardigrade, champion in all categories of resistance to extreme cold!!!
A fun exhibition
Children and adults spend long minutes manipulating the different elements. Small games, films, models, lighting scenography, etc. are there to explain the mechanisms of cold and the fight against cold in every detail.
The scenography is very worked and fluid in its course. Information is provided in English and French.
Thus, the exhibition Froid tackles with research and despite everything simplicity a common subject far from being banal. We were very pleasantly surprised and learned a lot of things.
