Set off on a “POLAR MISSION” at the Oceanographic Museum of Monaco from 4 June 2022

The new exhibition at the Oceanographic Museum of Monaco offers you an immersive experience at the heart of the Arctic and the Antarctic. Mélanie Laurent, an actress committed to action for the environment, is the ambassador of this unique two-year-long exhibition.

Interest in these lands of extremes has been enshrined in Monaco’s DNA for over a century and began at the end of the 19th century with Prince Albert I, explorer, visionary and founder of the Oceanographic Museum. It continues today with HSH Prince Albert II, the only Head of State to have rallied the two poles.

The balance of Planet Earth is dependent on the good health of these extreme regions: a cause which has not escaped the attention of actress Mélanie Laurent, a fervent protector of the environment and ambassador of the exhibition: “Through this exhibition, each one of us is invited to become not only a privileged observer of the unbelievable beauty of the polar worlds, but also an informed witness of their great fragility. For the future of the poles is also our future and that of generations to come” she stresses.

The “Polar Mission” exhibition offers an immersive experience into the heart of the Arctic and the Antarctic where the major issues concerning these lands of extremes, remote and yet vital for the global climate, are decrypted. Objects and documents, digital content side by side with complementary immersive devices offer a 360° experience. The grand voyage can begin!
