Descripción: «Natural history museums are storehouses of biological and geological diversity. Their collections contain millions of objects reflecting nature's most striking feature: infinite variety.
To date biologists recognize 1.75 million species of living beings. New species are discovered almost every day, indicating that we are just beginning to learn how diverse nature really is.
Natural history collections are rich sources of information about diversity. They fuel scientists with the working material they need to describe and explain the natural world. At the same time collections function as 'time capsules' where irreplaceable reference material is stored safely away for future generations of researchers.»
