The Nature Extrème exhibition explains how cataclysms occur and relates the great catastrophes that marked the country. Set up as a game, it introduces safety advice. All the senses are aroused by the use of multimedia equipment such as a fan, a stroboscope, an earthquake simulator and a sound track.

Subject of the hour, this exhibition highlights the effect of climatic changes on the number of extreme phenomena that lead to planetary evolution and great upheavals.
