Descripción
The Geological Museum of the Seminary of Barcelona was founded in 1874. It is an institution of the Catholic Church. Firstly, it was a Natural Science Cabinet, but it was transformed in a Palaeontological Museum and Laboratory at XIX century. Nowadays, this museum mainly houses fossil inveretebrates and tries to balance the scientific works (dominant aspect) with the exhibition of the collections. Although, the biggest collection of the Museum is integrated by fossil invertebrates, it has smaller collections of vertebrates, Palaeobotany, Malacology, minerals and rocks, as well.
