User comments
Comment from Nausicaa: In 2012, we will have many attractions for the public in Nausicaa. For example, we’ve opened a new temporary exhibition called “Islands Stories” a few months ago, where we give the impression that the visitor is really travelling through those little paradises! The aim is to make people be sensitive to the climate changes those islands have to face up with, and discover the richness, the diversity of life by special species full of colours. See Nausicaa for details.
