The ICEBERGS exhibit will be an expansive show on icebergs and all things related to them, as most people rarely have a chance to see one up close. The installation is set to feature recreated 56-feet structures made out of polycarbonate panels and scaffolding to recreate the massive hundred-year-old ice mounds.
