It covers an area of about 40,000 square meters and is part of a complex of buildings which are very impressive examples of modern architecture. Inside, the exhibits were less impressive. Displays devoted to Nobel Prize winners, for example, were about as interesting as a hastily prepared school project … in Spanish! The lack of English information on exhibits makes them less than engaging to the average non-Spanish speaking visitor. There was a worthwhile exhibit covering the Amazon on the top floor. It included a video and specimens of insects and other items from the Amazon rainforest. This, and a few other science exhibits, just about justified the museum admission price of 7 Euro.close
