IMG_2400Hasta el 30 de marzo de 2016 se puede visitar en la iglesia de San Juan de Arties la exposición “Umans e natura: Trobades inesperades” una producción propia del Museo de la Val d’Aran que refleja la relación a lo largo del tiempo del hombre con este pequeño trocito del planeta, la Val d’Aran.

La adaptación del hombre a la Naturaleza y de la Naturaleza al hombre es una lucha constante por la subsistencia, el control y el dominio de esta. Podemos sacar provecho, la podemos explotar, pero, Ella, se desencadena libre y sin límites, a veces dulcemente y otras veces feroz, en forma de riadas, aludes, terremotos,… ¿Podemos controlarla? ¿Podemos dominarla? O la podemos conocer, adaptarnos e ir juntos.
