In addition to the changing seasons, a process is ongoing that is invisible to the human eye: the ever-changing climate affects plants and animals. The Change in the Air exhibition presents the research on climate change conducted at the University of Helsinki, showcases the effects of climate change on our northern environment and suggests how we can adjust to the changes.
