Warmth can be found in the coldest of places - in the Arctic, from polar bears in their natural habitat.

Cuddling, playing, resting, roaming. With their noses in the air, they catch faint distant smells. With their small ears, they listen for sounds in the stillness. They feel the earth, the ice and snow with their gigantic paws, and with their whole body. Cubs show their love by licking each other and rubbing their faces against their mother. Lisa Vogt has captured many such precious moments in her numerous journeys to the Arctic.

You are cordially invited to this special photo exhibition. Whether with your friends and loved ones, or on your own, you are in for a heartwarming treat.

50 photographic works and a life-sized polar bear figure will be on display. Lisa Vogt's gallery talk and other events will be held.
