The Norwegian Audun Rikardsen is among the most renowned nature photographers and has received numerous awards, particularly for his perspective on whales. The Stadtmuseum Langenfeld is presenting 40 of his exceptional photographs in the exhibition "WinterWale", running until 1 September 2024.

ElasmOcean is a partner of this exhibition and co-designed the "OceanLab", the educational science space for young people within the exhibition. Furthermore, we are hosting a children's ocean day on 27 July, and presenting the lecture "Unser Ozean - Schönheit und Gefährdung" on 8 August.

Further details can be found in the event overview on our homepage (https://elasmocean.org/tun/termine/). We look forward to welcoming you!
