National Museum of Natural Sciences Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
The museum preserves important Spanish natural history specimens. During the 250 years of existence of the museum, 8 million animal and plant specimens have been preserved here. A window into the animal kingdom, from small insects to the skeletons of larger animals. It houses all the taxidermy of animals, a taxidermy elephant hunted by Alonso VIII in the early 20th century AD, and an eight-meter-long giant squid caught on the seaside of Asturiana. This one is a surprise to many families who come to visit the museum.

The museum exhibits a lot of works, with historical and cultural heritage
Walking here when you have time is a good choice!
Super comprehensive specimens of animals and plants, eye-opening, and dinosaur fossils.
Visits to the Museum of Nature try to avoid holidays, luggage to be deposited, security checks to enter the Museum. The world of plants and animals in the Museum is rich in content, and it's basically a once-through tour. It feels good.
It's important to see that there is no connection between the two halls of the museum, so you need to go outside, which may not be pleasant in bad weather.
