The zoology museum of Barcelona, together with the museum of geology, make up the Museum of Natural Science. It was constructed briefly previous to the Exposición Universal de Barcelona (1888) by the architect Lluís Doménech i Montaner, and served as exhibition to the aforementioned extravaganza. Most of the building is constructed with red bricks. The most popular displays are the gigantic skeleton of the whale, and the exhibits dedicated for smaller children. The institute's authorities aver that their vital aims are to enhance knowledge and conservation of the natural diversity of Catalonia and its surroundings, and to promote the public the learning and discovery of the natural world, just as to transmit ethical values of respect for nature and to stimulate informed debate on the burning issues and environmental problems that concern society.
Permanent exhibitions:

Mineralogy, petrology and paleontology
The volcanic region of Olot
The mineral's secret colors
