Exhibition “Nature or Culture?”
The exhibition at the Museo de Ciencias Naturales de Barcelona proposes a journey through the evolution of natural history museums, reflecting on the intrinsic relationship between humans and the environment. From the earliest cabinets of curiosities to today's sophisticated facilities, the exhibition reveals how we have interpreted and valued nature over the centuries.
About this event
Among the most outstanding pieces is the skeleton of L’Avi, the elephant who preceded Copito de Nieve in the hearts of Barcelona's residents, as well as a meticulously crafted diorama of the last falcons of the Santa Maria del Pi church, symbolising the interaction between the metropolis and its wildlife.
This exhibition does not merely seek to display artefacts; it aims to spark a dialogue about the future role of natural history museums in our society. “Nature or Culture?” raises fundamental questions about the ability of these spaces to address today's challenges of sustainability and social awareness, encouraging visitors to reflect on the human role in preserving biodiversity and the urgency of adopting more sustainable practices.
