Theresia Chamat
★★★★★3 months agoGreat museum for anyone curious about nature and science. The building itself is modern and impressive, and the exhibitions take you through the history of life on Earth in a very clear and engaging way. There’s a wide variety of displays from animals and plants to minerals and fossils and everything is well organized with information in multiple languages. It’s not overly crowded, so you can take your time and really enjoy it. Perfect for families or a relaxed visit, especially if you like learning at your own pace. Plan around 2 hours to see everything. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in Barcelona.
