The Museum of Natural History — UFAL

The Museum of Natural History of the Federal University of Alagoas (MHN-UFAL) is a supplementary body linked to the Dean of Extension (PROEX-UFAL) and has the duties of Research and Extension. Since its creation in 1991, it has been developing studies on local ecosystems, also valuing the knowledge of traditional populations on the use of the state's natural resources. These studies result in systematic scientific collections, witnesses of our biodiversity (current and fossil), mineral wealth and human occupation throughout history (archeology and anthropology).
