Welcome

This exhibition poses questions about how we live in relationship to rivers. Can we live with the rivers that flood us? Or is the river something that we should control and use for our own benefit? The exhibition does not give answers to these questions, but rather we ask you to join us on a journey alongside three rivers, three geographical locations and three cultures, to listen to people’s experiences of being flooded and to join us to develop a global future that enables us to think differently about our rivers, cities, and environment.

Living with water exhibition is divided into three spaces

Space 1 - Introduction to three rivers

This space introduces three Rivers in three countries that became flooded during extreme storms.
