Saturday 16 and Sunday 17 October come to Città della Scienza and to discover fossils and turn into a paleontologist! Paleontology is the discipline that studies the fossil remains of plant and animal organisms, reconstructing their morphology, origin and evolution, a dip in prehistory to understand the life of millions of years ago! During this weekend in our interactive museum, in addition to the usual guided visits to the museum of the Human Body Corporea and the extraordinary shows of the Planetarium, we offer a series of scientific activities dedicated to this mysterious and interesting discipline; together with the science communicators of Le Nuvole we will analyze footprints, skulls, bones, teeth, claws, poop and horns of animals of the past by participating in the science show TO BE or NOT TO BE: signs from the past and the interactive laboratory BONES: FOSSILS UNDER CONSTRUCTION … we will find ourselves in the fantastic world of fossils!
