Interactive installations through all of Nijmegen during InScience 2020
One of the most concerning and urgent problems of our time is climate change. The interactive programme Do You Know the Way to Utopia? makes our worries, dreams, hopes and fears about this crisis tangible. Through interactive installations, games and VR films in museums and galleries throughout Nijmegen you can discover an ecological utopia. Or is it a dystopia in disguise? The program can be visited free of charge and corona proof from 12 to 15 November between 12:00 and 17:00.
