La història més bella del Cosmos

Discover the history of life through its most direct witnesses: fossils. We invite you on a journey that began with the origin of the Earth, about 4,500 million years ago."The most beautiful story in the cosmos" is an exhibition 900 metres long spread throughout the CosmoCaixa Science Museum: with every step, you will walk through five million years of the planet's biological evolution! The exhibition contains fossils that show the entire chronicle of the evolution of life on Earth. The most remote is a fragment of meteorite as old as the planet. But there are many more: remains of stromatolites, eukaryotic algae, traces of ancient soft-bodied animals, animals with chitin skeletons, ancestral vertebrates, the first plants, aquatic arthropods, primitive fish, insects, reptiles such as the dinosaurs... Thanks to the extinction of the dinosaurs, the expansion and diversification of mammals became possible. Among them arose the hominoid primates, from which our species, Homo sapiens, emerged. A long history that began on an inert planet.
