The “Splendors of the Sun and Moon” will run until the end of March 2024, offering art lovers a unique opportunity to experience the profound connections between man and the forces of nature. Visitors are encouraged to not only appreciate the artworks but also to consider their own impact on the environment and the steps they can take towards a more sustainable future.
