Natural Sciences (Ciencias Naturales) Museum in Valencia, Spain

Natural sciences museum actually focuses on a slightly more narrow topic: the origins of the universe, the origins of life and the evolution up until the dinosaurs. Although there are a few spectacular animations, generally the collection is not that big. It is mainly composed of bones, various fossils, a few models and animations. The highlight is a few small-ish dinosaur skeletons.

The museum gives a lot of attention to Valencia. One section is dedicated to the contribution of Valencian scientists to world knowledge (there are various scientific tools and principles on display). Another section explains Valencian ecosystems in charts and video footage, specifically Albufera.
