Photographic Exhibition
Shapes and colors hidden in the rocks
The exhibition brings together a large collection of photographs, information panels, and exhibition content that illustrate the richness of the fossil micro-world found within the rocks that make up the karst landscape, with the aim of promoting sustainable tourism, cultural cooperation, and environmental protection. The installations will accompany visitors through a series of images of rocks under the microscope, obtained using geological techniques. The illustrations present wonderful plays of light and show fascinating microfossils inside them. A section of the exhibition area is also dedicated to the UNESCO candidacy of Karst stone as a Heritage Stone.
The exhibition is organized as part of the Interreg Italy-Slovenia project “Joint management and sustainable development of the classic Karst area – Kras-Carso II” in collaboration with the Municipality of Trieste.
