About the museum

In the U.S., proponents of ambitious, transformative climate action outnumber the public 2 to 1, but the public believes the opposite is true. The Climate Museum pop-up, which opened its doors in 2018, invites the public to recognize their own agency and change the public culture of the United States.

In den USA sind die Befürworter ehrgeiziger, umwälzender Klimaschutzmaßnahmen 2 zu 1 in der Überzahl, aber die Bevölkerung glaubt, dass das Gegenteil der Fall ist. Das Pop-up des Klimamuseums, das 2018 seine Türen geöffnet hat, lädt die Öffentlichkeit dazu ein, ihre eigene Handlungsfähigkeit zu erkennen und die öffentliche Kultur der Vereinigten Staaten zu verändern.
