About

Barcelona's natural science museum fills a tilted blue building by Herzog & de Meuron at the Fòrum. The Planeta Vida exhibition traces the history of life on Earth, and La Terra Avui displays around 4,500 specimens, from insects to large dissected mammals, minerals, and fossils. A free-access lobby holds the shop and the Niu de Ciència, a hands-on nature space for ages 0 to 6.
