Description:
The staging is impressive: as soon as you enter in the museum, you are plunged to 400 million years in the past.Skeletons of cachalots and whales floating at the ceiling welcome you and invite you to deepen your visit.
So, you go from room to room up 4 million centuries until today along way with an illustrations and soundtrack.
Earth history, then the emergence of life, with species that born and then disappear to free the way for new ones, more modern, better adapted to the geological environment and to the constantly changing wildlife, finally ending with the birth of the first men.
