Winter cruelty, a cold shower or an icy look : the cold often brings back negative emotions. However, since antiquity, ice and snow have been preserved to garnish iceboxes and to give ourselves the luxury of a sorbet... The 19th century saw the invention of machines for making cold. for new uses : food, energy, the environment or health. This exhibition, partially resumed from the Cité des Sciences in Paris, takes you on a journey of discovery of the multiple facets of cold, natural or manufactured.
