Weather to Climate: Our Changing World

What’s the difference between a rainy afternoon and a rising global tide?

This thought-provoking exhibition explores just that—connecting the local and immediate experience of weather to the long-term patterns and global shifts of climate.

Weather to Climate: Our Changing World brings the science of climate change to life, revealing how atmospheric forces shape our daily lives, our ecosystems, and our shared future.

Through vivid visuals, interactive displays, and real-world stories, visitors are invited to explore the impact of a warming planet—and the role we all play in responding to it.

Highlights

• See the science in action: Understand how weather describes short-term atmospheric changes, while climate reflects long-term trends.

• Trace the patterns: Explore how natural variability has always influenced climate—but why today’s changes are anything but ordinary.

• Feel the shift: Discover how Earth’s climate is becoming warmer and wetter—and what that means for different regions and communities.

• Meet the survivors (and strugglers): Learn how animals and plants adapt—or fail to adapt—in a changing world.

• Empower action: Unpack the human causes of climate change and the powerful solutions within reach, from local innovations to global efforts.

Science with a forecast for hope.
Weather to Climate invites visitors of all ages to engage deeply with the science—and leave with a clearer understanding of how today’s choices shape tomorrow’s world.
