Science Museum: rainforest exhibition
This museum, which opened in 2005, has been heralded as the
finest science museum in Europe. It has an enormous variety of content and an
innovative layout, turning it into one of the most modern museums of its kind.
The exhibitions are distributed throughout various rooms, including the Amazon
Forest, the Geological Wall, Planetarium, etc.. Visitors are invited to interact
with many of the scientific experiments, making the whole experience richer and
more entertaining, particularly for children.
The rainforest exhibition is included in the general entrance price and is an
exact reproduction of life in over 1,000 m² of Amazonian flooded forest with
more than 100 living species, including native plants and animals. You can
explore not only the flooded forest but also its relationship with the mainland
and discover one of the richest and most fragile ecosystems on our planet. Up to
100 native plant species are found in the exhibition including caiman,
capybaras, birds, anacondas, leaf-cutter ants and poison arrow frogs.
