Museu de Ciències Naturals de Barcelona / Natural Science Museum of Barcelona

The Natural Science Museum of Barcelona is an institution founded over 140 years ago whose natural heritage collections in the fields of mineralogy, petrology, palaeontology, zoology and botany comprise more than four million specimens. This valuable heritage has been enriched year by year thanks to specimens obtained through donations from private individuals, agreements with the Zoo and Catalonia’s natural parklands, and also through the Museum’s own research work.
