Permanent exhibits: Six rooms presenting Belonging; Belonging is linked to responsibility: if I am part of something I care about its future; I am responsible for it. I Am: The person is a being with physical, psychological, spiritual, and social dimensions. The sum of individual actions generates a global change in favor of nature. I Communicate: Listening to the needs of nature and thinking in its favor. Communicate the message of sustainability and translate it into commitments and responsible actions. I Understand: Only by understanding how our planet works can we know it and adapt our lifestyle through the use of eco-friendly technologies. I Express: Art returns to the language of nature to express ideas toward caring for our planet. We can express thoughts and feelings by reusing materials. Children: The expressive language of children connects imagination, intelligence, and learning. Play enables dialogue with reused materials to create, discover, invent, and give life to a new object.
