Treasures Hidden in the Eternal Ice

Deep within glaciers lie stories of people, climate, and the environment that have endured for millennia. But as the ice melts, they come to light.

The exhibition “Treasures from the Ice" tells 15 fascinating stories and showcases what glacial archaeology and ice core research are uncovering in the ice.

Starting September 23, 2026, at the Sandstone Pavilion
