Noche de Darwin y Wallace
On this occasion, to mark the birthdays of Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace, you can look forward not only to a night of science, but also to a unique encounter with history, art and entertainment.
About this event
Noche de Darwin y Wallace, celebrating its fifth edition, opens the doors of the Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales to adults to celebrate the work of these two extraordinary naturalists whose theories radically changed our understanding of evolution. On this evening, the museum offers not only facts and theories, but also a truly colourful event.
The programme includes a theatrical performance by TeatrIEM, which will transport guests to an era of great discoveries and scientific debates. This will be followed by interactive demonstrations with curators and researchers that will immerse guests in the world of biology through live scientific illustration. There will also be a clown show that will bring laughter and joy to this afternoon of science. To conclude the evening, a cocktail reception and dinner will be served, and the finishing touch will be an injection of musical energy from a live DJ who will set the rhythm for this unusual night.
