MELTDOWN: Visualizing the Climate Crisis

The Horniman Museum's most famous resident is a taxidermy walrus. But that splendid creature's un-stuffed and still-living friends are, like many ice-dwelling beasts, in considerable danger. This multi-artist exhibition shows precisely what ice erosion looks like, providing a view of the world's ice (or lack thereof) that is ecologically terrifying and artistically powerful. The exhibition includes images of Switzerland's Rhône glacier which has been covered in a huge geo-thermal cloth to try to minimise its disintegration.
