Present collections for the 90th anniversary of the Provincial Museum of History

The Provincial Museum of Natural History of the La Pampa’s Secretary of Culture continues with the activities scheduled for its 90th anniversary. Next Thursday, November 6th at 6 PM, a new temporary exhibition will be open to the general public, which will include various outreach activities such as talks and discussions.

In this new exhibition about the 90 years of the Museum, biodiversity will be the thematic axis to discuss and reflect on the Museum’s biological collections and their processes of formation. This type of cultural heritage functions as a three-dimensional archive of the natural world and the relationship of society with its environment. Furthermore, currently, they are the subject of intense debates on Speciesism and Bioethics. As part of the opening of the exhibition, the discussion “The Great Transformation and its environmental consequences” will take place.

The proposal will address the changes made to the Pampean nature as its lands were integrated into productive systems of cultivation and exploitation of the caldén forest. That era is a starting point to understand the current biodiversity. The activity is organized together with the Institute of Socio-Historical Studies (IESH) of the Faculty of Human Sciences of UNLPam. Dr. Andrea Lluch (IESH-IEHSOLP) and Dr. Federico Martocci (IESH-IEHSOLP) will participate.

Together with the researchers and the attending public, it is proposed to create a space for meeting, dialogue, and reflection on the environmental consequences of productive transformation in the early decades of the 20th century.
