The Museum of Natural History and Environmental Culture is undergoing a process of complete renovation. The new exhibition design highlights the richness, beauty and complexity of nature, giving it a personality of its own that results in the use of a wide range of exhibition resources combined with sober elements that showcases each collection piece. At the same time, each specimen is contextualized in a way that shows how the species lives and the processes they take a part of.

The design also establishes a dialogue with the architecture through contrasting elements that give meaning to the relationships between past and present, the macroscopic and the microscopic, the simple and the complex, the evident and the hidden, the astonishing and the ordinary. The visitor journey is non-linear, allowing for an autonomous discovery of content. Powerful messages are conveyed through a wide range of exhibition resources such as diorama-like scenes, showcases, projections, infographics, replicas, labels, experimentation labs, scientific illustrations, or interactives, which together tell a complete story: the history of nature.

We materialized this approach in the renovation of the Four Vaults and Two Vaults Complexes.
