Natural Sciences Museum

Created in 1983, the Museum of Natural Sciences PUC Minas reopened its exhibitions to the community in August 2002, in a new building specially designed for the development of its research, education and cultural leisure activities.

MCN PUC Minas houses an important collection of zoology. The paleontology collection stands out for the discoveries of mammals from the South American Pleistocene. The Vertebrate collections of the current fauna include amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals. The Museum's team is composed of qualified professionals and university students who participate in various projects.

The Museum is an interdisciplinary space of the University that complements its extension of services to the community.
