Curator and set designer: la Seigneurie
The Alsatian landscape as we know it today was formed over millions or even billions of years. The astonishing variety of rocks that make up its soil invites us to take another look at how this landscape, made of schist, granite, sandstone, limestone... was shaped.
Landscapes sometimes submerged, sometimes emerging, climates sometimes tropical, sometimes arid, follow one another on such a vast time scale that their perception is a real challenge for our imagination.
The exhibition Sous l'océan, l'Alsace (Under the Ocean, Alsace) paints a portrait of these landscapes through the interpretation of rock studies and fossils found by generations of geologists, paleontologists and enlightened amateurs.
Open to all, included in admission. Accessible with Museums-PASS-Musées.
