MAIN ATTRACTIONS
The valued collections of the museum, from the National Museum of Natural Science, are exhibited in an informational way with the living beings that share the planet with us and our place in the tree of life. Also with an interesting approach to the climate change and the threats for the preserving of the biodiversity.
WHAT WE’LL SEE
The exhibition has been thought for kids and non-scientific general public. The tree of life shows us the invertebrate’s success, the ocean as an origin of life and the terrestrial species. The birds as an evolution of the dinosaurs and the expansion of the mammals. One of the jewels exhibited is a blue rorqual skeleton, which for a long time was archived as “whale’s bones”.
