Climate Museum UK is an experimental museum that curates and gathers responses to the Earth crisis. A collective of creatives from across the UK, with a cluster in Norfolk, they help people play, create, and talk about the crisis. In Norwich, they run a programme getting people to imagine a green, safe and healthy future for the City, Possitopia Norwich.
Put on your eco glasses and prepare for a walk like no other. You’ll be seeking ten items from the first scavenger list below. Each discovery earns you 10 points, and once you reach 100 points, you can move to the second level, with a harder list of ten eco finds.
