British artist Amy Sharrocks collects nearly all kinds ofwater. In 2013, she set up the Museum of Water, a live piece of artwork thattravels all over the world and invited people to donate water--from spit tomelted snow--in a bottle and discuss what it means to them.
   The program aims to understand why people treasure water and helpprepare them for a drier future and climate, Ms. Sharrocks told an audience ofclimate experts, activists and museum curators (馆长). "For example,we show them how to have three-minute showers to better deal with watershortages ," she said.
    Amy is notalone as a matter of fact. As world leaders increasingly face up to the seriousresults of climate change, curators are planning a new wave of museums, whichare devoted to what many consider a vital issue of the times.

"Climate change is affectingvirtually every aspect of our lives, " Ms. Massie said. "But we can'tfight the problem with top-down policies alone. We need the public toparticipate and museums are a way to open people's mind to what matters.
BridgetMcKenzie, director of Flow Associates, wanted to raise awareness of the dilemmaof the Pacific island nations, which are particularly vulnerable (易受伤害的)to rising sea level. So with her team she set up a "ghostboat" made of old fish nets at the University of Cambridge's Museum ofArchaeology and Anthropology, and asked visitors what they would take with themif they were suddenly forced to leave their homes.
   While museums can be a powerful way of communicating the effects ofclimate change, they should also practice what they spread and control theirown emissions ( 排放物 ). "Roughly half of cities'emissionscome from energy use in buildings, " said Elliot Goodger, amuseums'association representative of the West Midlands in Britain,"museums have a duty to be energy-efficient, for example by using laserlighting for displays or improving their building materials. "
