Welcome to a unique museum!
Mef is a centre of scientific activities, with entertainment for the whole family.
Have fun in a trip through the past to the origin of the Earth, learn from HD documentaries screened at the Auditorium, meet the lab crew –working in the latest discovery-, have a break with a great cup of coffee at Feruglio Café and finish your journey by shopping souvenirs and gifts at Dinoshop.
Come, visit us!
At MEF, there is always something new!
In addition to the permanent exhibition and public use areas (Dinoshop, Feruglio Café) the museum develops programs and activities for all ages.
Explorers in Pyjamas, Children's Day, Museums Day, Mef Invites, Scientific and Concert Café, are some of the activities taking place throughout the year.
The Collection is the heart of the museum. Once treated in technical laboratories, fossils are cataloged and stored.
MEF Collection set a precedent in technology and innovation in museums throughout Latin America: all the fossil material is classified and arranged in large devices that move on rails and were manufactured with a prepared structure to withstand extreme weight and still be easy to handle by anyone.
The collection manager carries on a digital record of all pieces, and is responsible for its maintenance and preservation.
