Join us for a docent-led tour of what Time Out calls one of the best museum exhibitions in New York City.
The End of Fossil Fuel, the last exhibition at the pop-up Climate Museum before it leaves New York City, explores how the fossil fuel industry, whose product is causing the climate crisis, manages to keep making a killing off of killing us—and what we can do about it. The exhibition features artist R. Gregory Christie’s forty-five-foot mural Making Tomorrow, which examines the impact of the climate crisis on the American landscape, both real and imagined, as well as a climate action incubator, interactive maps, and more inspiring activities. Overall, the exhibition tells a story that encompasses the hard truths we must confront to arrive at a vibrant, earned belief in the better future we can make together.
R. Gregory Christie is an artist and an illustrator of children’s books and more. He is an NAACP Image Award winner, a six-time Coretta Scott King Honor recipient, and a Caldecott Honor winner. He’s won additional awards from the New York Times, the Museum of Tolerance, and the Boston Globe. Christie is focused on encouraging audiences to find a love for learning and to build bridges of empathy.
The Climate Museum is the first museum dedicated to climate change in the United States. Its programming integrates art, social science, and activism to deepen understanding of the climate crisis, build connections, and advance just solutions. The Climate Museum’s interactive exhibitions have engaged the public in settings as diverse as the New York Estuary, Rockefeller Center, Washington Square Park, and Governors Island.
