"In everything there is Science" is the first exhibition of the Science Museum of the University of Navarra. The sample will take more than a hundred specimens of the Museum to seven buildings of the campus, where the pieces will remain on display -openly and with free access- until February 15, 2019.
Its inauguration took place at School de Comunicación, in an event that included an exhibition of birds at position de Tierra Rapaz. The event was part of the activities of the Science and Technology Weeks 2018.
"En todo hay Ciencia" proposes a dialogue between Science and other disciplines taught in different Schools. Through ideas developed by several professors and researchers, each building hosts a sample of specimens of mammals, minerals and fossils, insects and sheets from the Museum's Herbarium, along with panels that invite reflection on science and its relationship with other branches of knowledge.
In the case of the Museum of Art, the sample relates the link between Science and Art; in the Central Building the exhibition will revolve around Science and Letters; in the Library Services of Humanities the relationship between Science and Philosophy will be addressed; Architecture will deal with the theme of the building as a living organism (Science and Architecture); Amigos Building will analyze sustainable economic growth (Science and Economics); School Communication will focus on the peculiarities of communication in the animal world (Science and Communication); and Sciences Building (Hexagon Building) will close exhibition with a panel on the procedure after which species are named.
Science Museum: project University H2020"With this exhibition we seek to take a little piece of the Science Museum to other parts of the campus and approach it from a point of view that is closer to the visitors of that space (teachers, students, etc.)," says the manager Collections, David Galicia.
"Thus," he continues, "we have decided to carry forward a project with a much earlier historical background, but about which we have detected that the rest of the university community does not have enough knowledge. That is why we have decided to take part of the Museum to the buildings of the rest of the campus and to do so by establishing a dialogue with the disciplines taught there", emphasizes the professor of department from Environmental Biology.
The Science Museum -which conserves more than 25 million specimens of 10,000 different species distributed in 11 collections and one million museum records- is one of the backbone projects of the Horizon 2020 strategy of the University of Navarra at area of Social Responsibility and Environmental Sustainability.
