For the first time, we present a unique and exclusive visit to the Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales, where a specialized guide will reveal the best kept secrets inside an institution that holds millions of pieces invisible to the general public. We will have a different view of the museum, highlighting the art of taxidermy, the incredible journeys of naturalists and the surprising story of the most emblematic museum specimens. This is the oldest natural sciences museum in our country, with its origin in the Royal Cabinet of Natural History founded in the eighteenth century. Under this cabinet we can admire a restricted public basement where a prodigious collection of species of mammals and birds is stored.
This conference will have a similar character to the “Morbid Anatomy Museum” special tour organized in the “American Museum of Natural History” in New York.
