The Climate Museum

Our mission is to inspire action on the climate crisis with programming across the arts and sciences that deepens understanding, builds connections, and advances just solutions. A growing majority of Americans worry about climate, but have remained silent and inactive. While the climate emergency is an overarching existential emergency that demands the broadest possible public engagement, it’s easy to feel powerless in the face of a global crisis. Our work provides visitors and participants with a sense of agency and resolve, as well as specific onramps to dialogue and action, mobilizing the popularity and trust held by cultural programming.Our exhibitions, art installations, youth programs, and more are grounded in an interdisciplinary approach that draws on the power of art, storytelling, history, and science, with an emphasis on justice and inclusion. We provide a forum for all that consciously elevates the voices of youth and frontline communities—those most at risk and worst impacted by climate change.
