Nature in the Archives: Curator’s Tour

Join us on Friday 17th July at the National Museum of Natural History in Mdina for ‘Nature in the Archives: Curator’s Tour’, from 6:00pm till 7:30pm. Go behind the scenes to discover how the natural world endures within the museum’s scientific collections. From fluid-preserved specimens and historic herbaria to the handwritten field journals and sketches of renowned natural historians, this exclusive tour reveals how generations of researchers have documented, classified, and interpreted life on Earth. Guided by a curator, the tour also highlights how museum collections play a vital role in addressing today’s biodiversity crisis, helping scientists understand climate change and irreversible species loss.
