Grand Gallery of Evolution

Résumé :
From the skeleton of a 25-metre-long blue whale to the tiny naturalised Etruscan pachyur, a shrew measuring just five centimetres (including its tail!), the Great Gallery of Evolution showcases 7,000 specimens in the 6,000 m2 of a historic building spanning three floors. This not-to-be-missed site of the Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle, located in the Jardin des Plantes in Paris, is revealed here in four chapters: "A walk through history", "The diversity of living things", "Understanding the evolution of life", and "Humankind, a factor in evolution". This new edition, updated to mark the 30th anniversary of the Great Gallery , offers explanatory texts on the themes on display, almost 110 photographs of the exceptional collections, and maps to help you find your way around.
