The multimedia exhibition was created as part of the #gkb2020 150th anniversary project of Graubündner Kantonalbank and was opened on 7 October 2020, following a two-year development phase. The aim is to illustrate the importance of water in all of its forms. The Virtual Reality Glacier Experience shows quite plainly the impacts of climate change.
