Water is wonderful. But water is limited. And fragile. H2O Today explores the beauty and essential nature of water, our planet’s lifeblood. Through immersive content, interactives, and digital media, the exhibition explores the diversity and challenges of our global water sources, as well as Utah’s unique relationship with water. What does water mean to you?
“No water, no life. No blue, no green.” – Sylvia Earle, oceanographer
