  • I was there on Sunday, it was too crowded and we were surprised. By the way it was valuable to go there and see the pictures, the building etc.

  • Great experience going to the top and looking at the views. We weren't brave enough to climb the stairs to the top but we did walk down them rather than use the elevator. The area inside was very interesting with lots of amazing wildlife photographs that have been enlarged and hang throughout the exhibition. Also lots of local history information as well.
  • An ingenious Exhibition on earth and it's transformation since time immemorial. A reminder of how much influence mankind has had on the earth and how humans can impact the earth more positively. It's a wonderful place to visit with family, friends and loved ones.
  • Really well done. The pictures are spectacular and the globe upstairs is something to see. Worth to go there. You can go to the top and you will have a panorama of the city.
  • Genuinely one of the coolest places I've been in years: inspiring, thought-provoking, engaging. Incredible selection of photography and plenty of interactive elements. The Erdkugel at the end was just dazzling. 10/10 would recommend.
  • We visited the fragile paradise exhibition last week and only one word comes to mind, 'wow', very impressive. The images, the journey and simply the location is just something you should visit if in the area. The earth globe on the last floor is mindblowing, you can lie down on some pillows and it is just mesmerizing. The exhibition is running until end of 2022.
