Natural Science Museum of Barcelona, Natural history museum in El Besòs i el Maresme district, Barcelona, Spain
The museum spans 9,000 square meters in a contemporary building designed by Herzog and De Meuron, displaying 4,500 specimens from its collection of 4 million items.
Founded in 1882, the institution originated from the natural history collections of Francesc Martorell i Peña and expanded across multiple locations in Barcelona over 140 years.
The permanent exhibition interprets Earth through the interaction between chemical and physical environments, featuring fossils, preserved animals, plants, algae, minerals, and rocks.
The museum operates Tuesday through Sunday with extended hours during summer, offering guided tours, workshops, and educational programs for students and general visitors.
The entrance hall contains a whale skeleton discovered in 1862 on Llançà beach, named Brava through a public vote.
