An art installation titled To Dream Of Blue Skies, which features an empty baby cot and a "cloud" hanging over it made from crumpled photographs of blue skies, is not something visitors would expect to stumble upon at Muzium Telekom in Kuala Lumpur.

But the artwork, made by husband-and-wife artist duo Oscar Lee and Celine Tan, who are also known as @co2_karbondioksida (Co2), offers a strong climate change message that will draw you into the exhibition hall.
