The museum
A journey through evolution and biodiversity
The museum’s institutional description is presented separately from Proyecto Museo’s professional scope.
The Sistema de Información Cultural describes a museum whose narrative extends from the origin of the universe and the emergence of life to the great Mesozoic reptiles, the expansion of mammals and biodiversity. It records four permanent galleries and a founding date of January 30, 2017. See the Sistema de Información Cultural record.

Documentary sources
Separation between architectural authorship and museum content
The area and program data come from the presentation Museo Evolución Tehuacán, dated April 30, 2016. The thematic description and founding date come from the Sistema de Información Cultural. The presence of museum-exhibition information in general project documents does not imply Proyecto Museo authorship of the research or exhibition design.
