The Montreal Planetarium Rio Tinto Alcan offers free entrance to a new immersive photo exhibit called Origins. This journey from the original chaos to the appearance of life, by the renowned photograph Olivier Grunewald and journalist Bernadette Gilbertas, explores nature through 60 photographs divided in four stages: Chaos, Earth, Eden, Creatures. From volcano eruptions under the northern lights to desert and lush jungles, the exhibition depicts perfectly the beauty and fragility of our planet.
