“TARA Polar Station: A New Polar Exploration Sets Sail” Special Exhibition

This special exhibition, “Tara Polar Station: A New Polar Exploration Sets Sail,” is specially held at U.I.J Hotel & Hostel, a venue equally committed to environmental sustainability. Within the immersive lobby space, visitors can enjoy the first public release of the latest footage of France’s first polar drifting research base, Tara Polar Station. Through the Agnes boarding documentary shown alongside, audiences can learn about the vessel’s unique design as both a laboratory and an observation station, as well as how scientists conduct their explorations while surrounded by sea ice.
The Polar Station scientific base was completed in March this year, followed by its launching ceremony in April. Tara will then continue its northward drift to undergo summer and winter testing. In 2026, the first Arctic exploration mission, “Tara Polaris I,” will officially commence, observing biological characteristics in extreme environments and investigating the impact of climate change on biodiversity and the adaptive capacity of local endemic species.
Environmental conservation and care for the Earth have long been core humanistic values upheld by the agnès b. brand.

agnès b. brand designer Agnès Trouble and her son, agnès b. CEO Etienne Bourgois, are both deeply passionate about protecting the oceans, land, humanity, and nature. As practitioners of both artistic philosophy and modern science, they launched the brave and beautiful twin-masted sailing vessel in 2003 and named her TARA. Over the past 20 years, she has sailed across the world’s oceans, actively sharing abundant research成果 on climate change and marine environments with the public. Through exploration and scientific research, they hope to contribute to the well-being of our planet while also awakening public awareness of ocean conservation!
