Snow evokes childhood memories, winter and its sports.
A symbol of today’s environmental challenges, it also testifies to the vulnerability of the mountains,
tested by the effects of climate change.
The exhibition ROUGE COMME NEIGE (RED AS SNOW) is an opportunity to explore the many facets of snow, between poetry, science and ecological issues.
An unique event!
It’s the first ever exhibition on the microorganisms that inhabit snow! Historical documents and instruments, educational models, laboratory equipment – everything is presented so that you can follow the investigation with the scientists!
For all audiences! With english translations! Come and see!

Co-produced by the Grenoble Museum of Nautral History, CNRS, Université Grenoble Alpes (UGA)
and Météo-France, the “Rouge comme neige” exhibition showcases the scientific work of the ALPALGA project,
, which focuses on the microscopic life that inhabits snow at high altitudes.
