Museum of Natural Sciences
One of the most traditional museums of Argentina is dedicated to reviving the natural history through rooms and accessible to all activities.
It is one of the most traditional museums and one of the oldest in Buenos Aires: we went to visit the Argentine Museum of Natural Sciences in Centennial Park. One sunny afternoon, usually walking around town, we no more in the distant past: an avenue of direct capital geologic past, the origin of life, dinosaurs and all that surrounds us today.
Ready to disseminate and make accessible the knowledge that science has discovered about the past of our planet and the life that has evolved on it, the museum opens its doors to people of all ages.
Museum of Natural Sciences - Parque Centenario, Buenos Aires
The Academy of Natural Sciences Bernardino Rivadavia assumes the name of this Argentinean hero because it was he who inspired the project that led to the First Triumvirate in 1812 invited the provinces to gather materials to form the collection of a museum of natural history. The project of this museum, then, was born about the same time as the country.
Of course, the museum had to grow and travel a lot before arriving at its current form. The initiative was completed only in 1823, labor Rivadavia, who was then minister. After occupying offices in the convent of Santo Domingo in the Manzana de las Luces and the Monserrat square, moved to its current headquarters in 1937 and definitive.
The building now occupied by the museum was built specifically to house it. Its decoration gives details based on local flora and fauna. Owls flanking the first floor windows represent wisdom.
Museum of Natural Sciences - Parque Centenario, Buenos Aires
Just enter the first room you see is the geology. Found from fragments of rocks and crystals to models of the mountain country, cabinets full of information and real meteorites that fell on Argentine soil. In the background is the Planetarium, which can be visited with a separate entrance.
After crossing the Aquarium (which are different live specimens) and the room dedicated to marine life, got to the room Malacology (the branch of science devoted to shellfish). Finally, we visited the hall of Paleontology.
This is undoubtedly the most attractive room in this level and most draw the attention of visitors. With its high ceilings and large windows, is the place to see deployed in all its splendor dinosaur skeletons space. Herbivores, carnivores, aquatic and terrestrial, can almost see them walk among us and stretch their long necks. Also in this room is a corner where the kids can play to dig their own fossils.
A final room before boarding the second floor is devoted to originals of fossil mammals that inhabited the territory of our country.
Museum of Natural Sciences - Parque Centenario, Buenos Aires
The second floor still retains many sections: arthropods, the world of plants, amphibians and reptiles, mammals present, history museum, nature sounds, comparative osteology. There is much to discover and learn.
It is interesting to see how the museum staff has been concerned to ensure that scientific knowledge is something not only accessible, but interesting and we interact with directly. It is not only the reconstructions of skeletons (a very striking image) or cabinets full of information or panels with the sounds of nature that one can go discovering and recognizing. Everything is set for us to understand that science is not something abstract or isolate us. With science we can learn, explore and understand the world around us, the world of every day, all the wonders that are often overlooked.
Visit the Museum of Natural Sciences is to discover much more than a museum.
